I think the device needs to be opened before you can do anything with it. PPP of course does this for you, but if you want to ifconfig it yourself you might try something like ``dd if=/dev/tun0 of=/dev/null count=0'' first. That makes ifconfig work for me at least, I'm not sure if it's the "right" way. -- Ben Smithurst / ben@FreeBSD.org / PGP: 0x99392F7D FreeBSD Documentation Project / To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
