Package: kvm
Version: 72+dfsg-2
Followup-For: Bug #412941

Hello

I think we should blame this on the kernel people ;-)

tunctl allows to set a group permission on the interface but ..

 - the group permission only works for users that have this group as
   primary
 - if both user and group permission are set than only user with both
   that UID and primary GID is allowed to open the interface

If this were fixed to behave in some sane way you could make the device
accessible to some group (kvm or tapnet or whatever) and have users
added to that group.

Thanks

Michal
