If I run ppp(8) as any user other than root, I get the error message: No tunnel device is available. open_tun: No such file or directory I suppose there must be some permission set by default in a very conservative way, but I can't imagine where. ppp config files are world-readable, and I've set /dev/tun* readable/writeable by a group which all the PPP users belong to. What I'm missing ? Thanks.
