    Hi,
    I am trying to using openvpn on a 4.x system but it doesn't seem to want to
    create tun devices and I can't make them by hand with ifconfig.

    I've currently worked around it by running PPP first which creates a tun
    device but it's a bit difficult to automate properly.

    I've tried this for ifconfig..
    [inchoate 22:01] ~ >sudo ifconfig tun0 create inet 1.2.3.4
    ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE: Invalid argument
    [inchoate 22:02] ~ >sudo ifconfig tun0 create inet 1.2.3.4 4.5.6.7
    ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE: Invalid argument
    [inchoate 22:02] ~ >sudo ifconfig tun0 create
    ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE: Invalid argument

    Anyone got any hints?
