2006-06-23[NET]: Require CAP_NET_ADMIN to create tuntap devices.David Woodhouse
The tuntap driver allows an admin to create persistent devices and assign ownership of them to individual users. Unfortunately, relaxing the permissions on the /dev/net/tun device node so that they can actually use those devices will _also_ allow those users to create arbitrary new devices of their own. This patch corrects that, and adjusts the recommended permissions for the device node accordingly. Signed-off-By: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
