 Hi !

I want to setup tinc 1.0 pre4 with kernel 2.4.5 I didn't find
information about settings of tun/tap device

I did
in kernel -
[*] Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers
Network device support
 <M> Universal TUN/TAP device driver support

in /etc/modules.conf -
  alias char-major-10-200 tun

mknod -m 600 /dev/tun c 10 200
chown 0.0 /dev/tun

In mailing list archive I found description -
Load first "tincd -n <netname>", than "ifconfig <netname> 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0"

 My netname /etc/tinc/test4, I type
#tincd -n test4
After this I see tun module was loaded.
#lsmod
Module        Size        Used by
tun               3424       0   (autoclean)
#ifconfig test4 10.x.x.x netmsak 255.255.0.0
SIOCSIFADDR: no such device
test4: unknown interface: No such device
... ... ...


 Sincerely,
 Igor Belokopytov
