Sorry if I am spamming the list, but I have a deadline with emphasis on the dead. Ok, so I tried this mkdir -p /dev/net mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200 But was now greeted with Mon Aug 4 17:38:42 2008 OPTIONS IMPORT: route options modified Mon Aug 4 17:38:42 2008 Note: Cannot open TUN/TAP dev /dev/net/tun: Permission denied (errno=13) Mon Aug 4 17:38:42 2008 Note: Attempting fallback to kernel 2.2 TUN/TAP interface Mon Aug 4 17:38:42 2008 Cannot allocate TUN/TAP dev dynamically Mon Aug 4 17:38:42 2008 Exiting So I tried (out of desperation) mknod -m 777 /dev/net/tun c 10 200 But was greeted with the same error -----Original Message----- From: plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us [mailto:plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us] On Behalf Of Bryan O'Neal Sent: Monday, August 04, 2008 5:28 PM To: Main PLUG discussion list; Arizona State University Linux Users Group Subject: RE: Virtual Dedicated Server has not /dev/net - Problem withOpenVPNdev/net/tun For got to mention [root]# modprobe tun FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.9-023stab044.4-smp/modules.dep: No such file or directory -----Original Message----- From: plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us [mailto:plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us] On Behalf Of Bryan O'Neal Sent: Monday, August 04, 2008 5:21 PM To: Main PLUG discussion list; Arizona State University Linux Users Group Subject: Virtual Dedicated Server has not /dev/net - Problem with OpenVPNdev/net/tun If some one could please help me set up OpenVPN on a virtual dedicated server I would be most appreciative.
