>Description:
      net/if_tap.c has a hard-coded check in tapopen() for suser().
Since this node corresponds to a /dev entry with perfectly a
perfectly good permission system, why not leave off the hard-coded
check so I can do things like create a "netdev" group whose members
are allowed to do I/O to the tap interface.
>How-To-Repeat:
Configure tap interfaces in your kernel.  Chmod /dev/tap0 to something
writable by a mere mortal.  Try to open it.  Permission denied.
>Fix:
Remove the hard-coded check in the front of tapopen().
