* Implement ifnet cloning for tun(4)/tap(4).bms2007-02-041-5/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make devfs cloning a sysctl/tunable which defaults to on. If devfs cloning is enabled, only the super-user may create tun(4)/tap(4)/vmnet(4) instances. Devfs cloning is still enabled by default; it may be disabled from the loader or via sysctl with "net.link.tap.devfs_cloning" and "net.link.tun.devfs_cloning". Disabling its use affects potentially all tun(4)/tap(4) consumers including OpenSSH, OpenVPN and VMware.

| | | | | | | Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text. Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the entire enclosed block.

* Add the tap driver.nsayer2000-07-201-0/+217
The tap driver is used to present a virtual Ethernet interface to the system. Packets presented by the network stack to the interface are made available to a character device in /dev. With tap and the bridge code, you can make remote bridge configurations where both sides of the bridge are separated by userland daemons. This driver also has a special naming hack to allow it to serve a similar purpose to the vmware port. Submitted by: myevmenkin@att.com, vsilyaev@mindspring.com
