Description Michael K. Johnson 2001-12-17 15:34:11 UTC
/dev/net/tun is missing from the dev package.  It will become more
imporant as more VPN solutions depend on it.
 mknod -m 600 /dev/net/tun c 20 200

Comment 1 Kari A. Massarene 2001-12-20 02:37:09 UTC
Believe that "mknod -m 600 /dev/net/tun c 10 200" is correct.

Red Hat Linux is no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc. If you are still
running Red Hat Linux, you are strongly advised to upgrade to a
current Fedora Core release or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable.
Some information on which option may be right for you is available at
http://www.redhat.com/rhel/migrate/redhatlinux/.

Red Hat apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We do
want to make sure that no important bugs slip through the cracks.
Please check if this issue is still present in a current Fedora Core

check the box indicating that the requested information has been
provided. Note that any bug still open against Red Hat Linux on will be
closed as 'CANTFIX' on September 30, 2006. Thanks again for your help.
