tun(4) issues

[Vlad GALU]

	Hello. I've been trying to set up a VPN server which should serve
a large number of clients. Let's say something between 500 and 1000. I'd
like to use the tun interface to do it. Now, what I observed when I tried
to create 1000 tun devices, was that their minor numbers started to cycle
every once in a while. So I guess there are replicas of my initial tun
devices. Am I wrong ? Anyway, I only see these repeating minor numbers
when browsing /dev/ from midnight commander. 'ls' shows a whole different
kind of minor numbers, written in hex. Casting those to integers results
in way larger numbers than usual, for example 196610.

	Before I start testing, am I doing something wrong here ? Should I
stop now and find another implementation ?

	Thanks in advance for any feedback.
