Found another interesting detail. net/tun is listed in /etc/udev/makedev.d/50-udev.nodes, which starts with this comment: # These device have to be created manually
I just didn't find who/what actually creates those, and using which permissions. Anyway, another clue in your puzzle.
Hi Filipe,
This was a pointer in the right direction. This device file is actually created by /sbin/MAKEDEV and the configurations files it uses are found in /etc/makedev.d/ in particular for the device I am interested in it was the file 01linux-2.6.x.
I have changed this line c $ROOT 10 200 1 1 net/tun to c 0660 root vboxusers 10 200 1 1 net/tun
I am still confused as to why a udev rules exists for the device when it doesn't seem to ever be applied.
Thanks for the help, and have a nice day.
