Can't initialise tunnel interface: No such file or directory
|
|
I have seen a few questions on this error on the list:
> Can't initialise tunnel interface: No such file or directory
This means that vpnc (or vpnc-nortel) can not find the logical tunnel
interface. You need to create those interfaces yourself beforehand.
To check if the tun/tap interfaces exist, run:
> ls /dev/tun*
If you get no result, you must install the tun/tap interfaces first.
For example, on Mac OS X, download and install
http://tuntaposx.sourceforge.net/download.xhtml. For Windows and UNIX,
search the web.
To the developers: I strongly recommend to make this error message more
informative. It currently is way too cryptic for most users.
Regards,
