Synopsis
new package: tunctl
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
A new package, tunctl, is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
tunctl is a tool to set up and maintain persistent Network Tunnel and
Network Tap (TUN/TAP) interfaces, enabling user applications access to the
wire side of a virtual nework interface. Such interfaces are useful for
connecting VPN software, virtualization, emulation and a number of other
similar applications to the network stack.
- using tunctl a system administrator can create, configure and manage
persistent TUN/TAP interfaces for use by a designated user or group. This
particular user or group can then open and use the network-facing interface
but can not alter any aspect of the host side of the interface. (BZ#501574)
Administrators wanting to enable persistent TUN/TAP interfaces and manage
access to these interfaces by uid, gid or both should install this new
package.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
