Description larse 2000-03-17 20:40:01 UTC 
I've enabled tun tunnels in the kernel

	pseudo-device   tun             # Packet tunnel.

and made the devices

	[hbo: ~] ll /dev/tun*
	crw-------   1 uucp      52,   0 Mar 17 11:19 /dev/tun0
	crw-------   1 uucp      52,   1 Mar 16 16:16 /dev/tun1
	crw-------   1 uucp      52,   2 Mar 16 16:16 /dev/tun2
	crw-------   1 uucp      52,   3 Mar 16 16:16 /dev/tun3

however, ifconfig tells me there are no tun interfaces there:

	[hbo: ~] ifconfig -a | grep tun

What am I missing?

How-To-Repeat: see above

From-To: open->closed

Tun interfaces are now created on the fly.  If you run ppp, tun0 will 
appear... if you run ``ppp -unit 100'', tun100 will appear.
