[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#509524: /etc/init.d/virtualbox-ose: Overrides permissions on /dev/net/tun

[Sam Morris]

Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 1.6.6-dfsg-3
Severity: normal
File: /etc/init.d/virtualbox-ose

The init script appears to chgrp and chmod /dev/net/tun to the vboxusers group
and 660. But this is not necessary, as udev will (by default) create
/dev/net/tun mode 666:

$ grep -r tun /etc/udev/rules.d/
...
/etc/udev/rules.d/91-permissions.rules:KERNEL=="tun",			MODE="0666"
