tun device: File descriptor in bad state(77)

Hi there!

I graded up from kernel 2.4.5 to 2.4.8 and now have trouble with vtund 2.5b1 and tun 1.1.

vtund[532]: Session st_sm[217.230.44.100:1577] opened vtund[532]: Can't allocate tun device. File descriptor in bad state(77) vtund[532]: Session st_sm closed

Also

root:~# cat /dev/net/tun
cat: /dev/net/tun: File descriptor in bad state

Tried to recompile both packages and created a new device but without effect.

Best regards,

Max

Try using the included tun 1.4 thats in the kernel source. Vtund might need a small patch to work, I'm not sure about your version. Look at this patch:
http://www.sannes.org/secnet/secnet-1.0d-linux-2.4.diff

It should apply on vtund 2.4 at least (secnetd is just a different "version" of vtund with stronger encryption and some bugfixes). If it does not apply, try readning it and see what it does (it's nothing big, two additions of #includes.)

Some bits changed under vtun at 2.4.6 IIRC.

I patched vtun for my own use with patches from Kevin Fleming, made rpms, and called it 2.4a. It's been working fine here -

Perhaps someone else on the vtun team can offer more recent information.
