== VPNC problem with tun ==

Dear Vserver users,

I know some explanation was given about the TUN device on a vserver with openvpn

I'm trying to get vpnc to work on a virtual server.
I can't use openvpn because I need to connect to a Cisco PIX that only understands IPSEC.

I've created /dev/net/tun with
apt-get install uml-utilities
# cd /var/lib/vserver/<myopenvpnserver>/dev/
# ./MAKEDEV tun
as suggested. I don't use a tap interface

my vpnc.conf is
IPSec gateway x.x.x.x
IPSec ID somename
IPSec secret somepass
Xauth username some username
Xauth password some pass

Now when i try to do vpnc-connect on my vserver, I get :
vpnc: can't initialise tunnel interface: Operation not permitted

chown 777 /dev/net/tun doesn't help

Please help me out here
