Yep your right. This would seem the best approach. I get the following in
the log:
Apr 8 23:01:33 mail vtund[17395]: VTUN server ver 2.4 04/08/2001 (stand)
Apr 8 23:02:11 mail vtund[17397]: Session m2s[61.9.136.175:1129] opened
Apr 8 23:02:11 mail modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-90
Apr 8 23:02:11 mail last message repeated 2 times
Apr 8 23:02:11 mail vtund[17397]: Can't allocate tun device. No such file
or directory(2)
Apr 8 23:02:11 mail vtund[17397]: Session m2s closed
So I presume I need to add char-major-90 in with depmod ????? could it be
that I just need to do a depmod -a and reboot (the system has not been
rebooted since compiling and installing the tun package?
