Using tinc on planetlab

[ZioPRoTo (Saverio Proto)]

Hello,

Anyone on this list had successfully used tinc on planet lab [0] ?

I'm trying to do it but I get some problems using the tap device

tincd just keeps printing this error:
Error while reading from Linux ethertap device /dev/net/tun: File
descriptor in bad state

I guess the problem is I cannot manage tun/tap devices on the planet
lab nodes even if I am root :(
Look at this:

bash-3.2# /usr/sbin/tunctl
TUNSETIFF: Operation not permitted
bash-3.2# whoami
root
bash-3.2#

I know this is more a planetlab problem than I tinc problem and I am
offtopic, but I am really looking for some hints, so if anybody can
help me please write me an email even privately.

thanks

Saverio
