>Description:
iodined fails to properly setup the tun-device opon execution.

# iodined -P test 192.168.0.1 x.y.z
Opened /dev/tun0
Setting IP of tun0 to 192.168.0.1
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): Destination address required

Looking more closely, the tun.c patch attempts to fix the problem but fails to do so. Neither the patched nor the unpatched version work as a tun-device can neither be created without a destination adress (patched behavior) nor with the destination adress equal to source adress (unpatched behavior).
