Description Jaco Kroon 2007-10-03 09:44:12 UTC

I've got a need to create a tap0 device with tunctl passing -u jkroon, thus I really need to be able to use tunctl instead of openvpn to create the tap0 device.

Reproducible: Always

Created attachment 132444 [details, diff]
rcscript-net-tunctl-tunctl-force.patch

The patch basically forces the use of tunctl instead of openvpn if tunctl_${iface} is set.
