Has anyone used the `tun' interface driver recently? 

It appears to work fine (packets I send appear on /dev/tun0 anyway),
but bpf does not seem to work properly on the tun0 interface: tcpdump
does not filter out the packets I ask it to.

To repeat (with "pseudo-device tun" in your kernel config):

# ifconfig tun0 up `hostname` 4.4.4.4
# dd if=/dev/tun0 of=/dev/null & # Keep the device open so net is "up".
# tcpdump -i tun0 not icmp
...

now do "ping 4.4.4.4" in another job and tcpdump prints the echo request
packets which should have been filtered out by "not icmp".

Using "tcpdump -i ppp0 not icmp" correctly filters out ICMP packets on
that interface, so I think bpf and tcpdump are working in general.

Any ideas?


Thanks,
