No /dev/net/tun in xen Linux domU

No persistent /dev/net/tun in xen Linux domU… Hacky workaround is adding

mkdir /dev/net && mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200

while booting (for example in rc.local or in your init.d script which need it).

For example tun device is useful for SSH VPN. Without it, you will have errors like:

channel 0: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed
