tun creation problem with security/openvpn

[Daniel O'Connor]

Hi,
I am trying to using openvpn on a 4.x system but it doesn't seem to want to 
create tun devices and I can't make them by hand with ifconfig.

I've currently worked around it by running PPP first which creates a tun 
device but it's a bit difficult to automate properly.

I've tried this for ifconfig..
[inchoate 22:01] ~ >sudo ifconfig tun0 create inet 1.2.3.4
ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE: Invalid argument
[inchoate 22:02] ~ >sudo ifconfig tun0 create inet 1.2.3.4 4.5.6.7
ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE: Invalid argument
[inchoate 22:02] ~ >sudo ifconfig tun0 create
ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE: Invalid argument

Anyone got any hints?
