[Bug 36955] Re: /dev/net/tun has no user permissions

[Scott James Remnant]

It's up to the system administrator to device on the permissions of this device; you can adjust it quite simply by adding a file named /etc/udev/rules.d/45-tunnel.rules with the following contents:

KERNEL=="tun", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660"

Or whatever custom group and permissions you wish to assign to it.

By default we only ship it as root r/w because of the sensitive nature of this device in ordinary circumstances.

** Changed in: udev linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
