Hi.

I used tcpdump -i tun0 to set tun0 into promiscuous mode,
but it doesn't appear to have switched this bit off,
and I don't see anything in the ifconfig man pages on how
to set this. I've tried ifconfig tun0 down and then
ifconfig tun0 up, but this doesn't fix it.

37=[khetan] /$ ifconfig tun0
+ ifconfig tun0
tun0: flags=8151<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,PROMISC,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --> yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy netmask 0xffffff00 

Does anyone know how to get tun0 to switch the promisc bit off ?
