[nos-bbs] jnos2.0b, success but need help>>>

Hi Steven,

I'm glad to hear the positive things you had to say
about going back to JNOS.

If possible, I would suggest you move up to a later version
of linux (I use slackware 9.1). Or move up to Red Hat 9 or
whatever you're most comfortable with. That way the TUN
support will be more *automatic*. For Red Hat 7.2, it's
not so *automatic*.

Check the following URL for some notes I found :

I'm sure there are other notes lying around the internet that
are similar in nature. Bottom line is that you have to add TUN
support yourself for the distribution you are using.

You also need to create the tun devices. See the URL for hints.
