I am using Fedora Core 3 distribution with tinc-1.0.3-1.1.fc3.rf.  These are
the contents of my configuration files:

/etc/tinc/saaotun/tinc.conf:
Name = suth
DEvice = /dev/net/tun

/etc/tinc/saaotun:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.0.0.0

/etc/tinc/saaotun/hosts/suth:
-----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY-----
MIGJAoGBAMNiy1zXS6k3s+ocIdFWKU6MbpW3rQXGp7yIL+baY7GMxhOmsgZdyc1B
yQLJferCAhnR3gtU/zkeTASJOlTiZgmzwWSC0Ob4BOc5fUf6Uk6erVcPirzFe8G1
VNyagm1w/4L92hla8Xmw8rjxnNo6r2Jf/JfTZ/i3CbnIAZhPLuopAgMBAAE=
-----END RSA PUBLIC KEY-----

When I do "tincd -n saaotun", I get this message in the error logs:

"wait_for_sysfs[3643]: either wait_for_sysfs (udev 039) needs an update to 
handle the device '/class/net/saaotun' properly (no device symlink) or the 
sysfs-support of your device's driver needs to be fixed, please report to 
<linux-hotplug-devel at lists.sourceforge.net>"

I removed /dev/net/tun and recreated it using the usual mknod command, but
this message still occurs.  I installed tinc on a RedHat-8.0 system an there
it seems not to give any error messages.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Luis
