Daniele: That makes sense. mwum1004 is not a tap device, but an ethernet bridging device. The mwum1004 script is bringing up multiple UML sessions, each with their own tap device, and using an ethernet bridge to gather them into a single virtual network.
I wonder where the IP address and netmask for the bridge are being assigned? I think a better design for this system would have been to gather all the commands that have to be run as root into a separate script, start_uml_net.sh, or something like that, and have that script call /home/mwum1004/bin/mwum1004 through the su command so it would run as that user. start_uml_net.sh could have checked for the existance of the bridge device and created it if it didn't already exist. I wonder if the tap devices had also been created by hand, since there doesn't seem to be a root script to handle the creation of host-side network devices. The natural place to handle all of that would be in the start_uml_net.sh script.
