I set up a new OpenVPN instance last week on FreeBSD 5.4-stable. The tun0 device was auto-created by OpenVPN when I ran the init script. (Of course it was in my kernel config first.) I just have 'dev tun' in my OpenVPN configuration file. To me, the funny thing is that I am running it on an older FreeBSD box because the Red Hat Enterprise 4 server I was given would not create a tun device whatever I did. Just like you I could not create it by hand or have OpenVPN do it. The OpenVPN server instance on the other side is a RHE4, and it worked automagically with no effort. I used the same software to install it on both RHE instances, so it is all a bit fishy. --------------------------------------------------------- Marius M. Rex Sr. System Admin Community Connect Inc.
