Paolo, I had /dev/net/tun as writable (666) and used the command line with eth0=tuntap<.........>. Could anything else on my file system in any way be responsible for this?. I used tunctl to bring up the host tap0 adapter.. Also I should correct the fact that the error was SIOCSIFFLAGS not SIOCIFFLAGS as I had originally posted.
This issuse seems to be the only thing that seems to be blocking me from UML joy, so any help appreciated :) -Arvind --- Blaisorblade <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tuesday 09 August 2005 19:32, Arvind Gopalan > wrote: > > I have tried configuring the eth0 on my UML guest > a > > few times and every time get the same error once I > try > > to bring up the eth0 on the guest -> SIOCIFFLAGS: > > Permission denied error. > > > I have followed all the steps to configure a host > > tap0, > With the setuid uml_net (i.e. must have > uml_utilities installed) or by hand > (and /dev/net/tun must probably be writable for UML, > which likely you've > missed)? > > Also, I assume you've passed the needed options on > UML command line (like > eth0=tuntap<.........>) > > set up ip_forward, and so on.
