Re: [CentOS] How to create a tun-device with CentOS packages only?

So to get a clarification, because I am dense. Do you need to have the drivers insmoded or just have the /dev entries to make OMSA crash?

Neither, I can have the driver loaded and in /dev/net/tun. The problem only arises once you create a tun-device (i.e. openvpn --mktun --dev tun1) and vanishes when you remove it again.

Remember your request was to find a "supported" config that causes OMSA to not work, so they fix it.

I finally found another way: it also fails if there's a ppp device, so it can be reproduced with "supported" stuff: Call pppd, call omreport and see it die.

Thank you for your help!
