[Pkg-uml-pkgs] Bug#760425: uml-utilities: tun/tap permissions not set correctly on boot

[Nikolaus Rath]

Package: uml-utilities
Version: 20070815-1.3
Severity: normal

After boot, I have:

# ls -l /dev/net/
total 0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 200 Sep  3 16:47 tun

Bringing the interface down and up again restores correct permissions 
(so that user "nikratio" has access):

# ifdown tap0
# ifup tap0
Set 'tap0' persistent and owned by uid 1000
# ls -l /dev/net/
total 0
crw-rw---- 1 root uml-net 10, 200 Sep  3 16:47 tun


My interface definition is:
# cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
#allow-hotplug eth0
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual

auto tap0
iface tap0 inet manual
tunctl_user nikratio

auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
bridge_ports eth0 tap0
bridge_hw c8:60:00:bf:a2:7f
