== VPNC problem with tun ==<br />
<br />
Dear Vserver users,<br />
<br />
I know some explanation was given about the TUN device on a vserver with openvpn<br />
<br />
I'm trying to get vpnc to work on a virtual server.<br />
I can't use openvpn because I need to connect to a Cisco PIX that only understands IPSEC.<br />
<br />
I've created /dev/net/tun with <br />
apt-get install uml-utilities<br />
# cd /var/lib/vserver/<myopenvpnserver>/dev/<br />
# ./MAKEDEV tun<br />
as suggested. I don't use a tap interface<br />
<br />
my vpnc.conf is<br />
IPSec gateway x.x.x.x<br />
IPSec ID somename<br />
IPSec secret somepass<br />
Xauth username some username<br />
Xauth password some pass<br />
<br />
Now when i try to do vpnc-connect on my vserver, I get :<br />
vpnc: can't initialise tunnel interface: Operation not permitted<br />
<br />
chown 777 /dev/net/tun doesn't help<br />
<br />
Please help me out here</div>Jacko
