Package: vpnc
Version: 0.5.3r550-2
Severity: important

the vpn can't be established with the message:

        vpnc-connect: can't initialise tunnel interface: Inappropriate ioctl 
for device

short investigation shows that in case /dev/net/tun does not exists vpnc
creates it with

        open("/dev/net/tun", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0666) = 3

after that a call

        ioctl(5, TUNSETIFF, 0x7fffbc71f7d0) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl 
for device)

fails. if i issue a

        mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200

manually vpnc works fine.

i assume that a non-existing /dev/net/tun is a bug as well, probably form
another package (udev?) but vpnc should not create one in the given way.
