Hi, The vde init script should change the permissions of /tmp/vde.ctl to something like 0660 for user "root" and group "vde". This way, once a user is in the vde group, it would be possible to launch, for example, vdeqemu with no problem. Now I need to change the perms by hand so that users are able to use /tmp/vde.ctl. This summarizes the modifications needed : local my_vde_sock="/tmp/vde.ctl" start-stop-daemon --start --quiet \ --exec /usr/bin/vde_switch -- \ -tap tap0 -daemon -sock "${my_vde_sock}" chown root:vde "${my_vde_sock}" chmod 0660 "${my_vde_sock}" Also, on a side note, it seems I need to put before net.tap0 instead of before net so that the tap0 interface is set up after vde is started. Else it starts net, and net.eth0 is sufficient : tap0 is not set up. Thanks!
I have added a new init script that has a conf.d file to allow group setting with 2.0.2, thanks!
