Patrick, Bradley,

You can check also if this device is listed in /etc/modprobe.conf (or
equivalent in your distro):
alias char-major-10-200 tun (this is necessary for 2.6.x (here also, 2.6.3).

You better switch to runlevel 1 and back, to watch if the tun device is
created when the tun+ interface is called. Or "modprobe tun".

HTH,

RSalles
