H A Dtun.cdiff ca6bb5d7ab22ac79f608fe6cbc6b12de6a5a19f0 Thu Jun 22 18:07:52 CDT 2006 David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> [NET]: Require CAP_NET_ADMIN to create tuntap devices.

The tuntap driver allows an admin to create persistent devices and
assign ownership of them to individual users. Unfortunately, relaxing
the permissions on the /dev/net/tun device node so that they can
actually use those devices will _also_ allow those users to create
arbitrary new devices of their own. This patch corrects that, and
adjusts the recommended permissions for the device node accordingly.
