Package: uml-utilities Version: 20070815-1.1 Severity: normal /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/uml-utilities:
[...] # # why the hell does this need to be done? # chown root:uml-net /dev/net/tun chmod 660 /dev/net/tun Modern kernels (the one in lenny, for a start) only allow processes with CAP_NET_ADMIN to create new interfaces and require permissions to be 666 to allow access by unpriviledged programs. This is documented in Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt . Just remove this code, udev will set the correct permissions. -- ciao, Marco
