3043	Group information on tap device is ignored/wrong	Guenther Falk		"Hi,

When creating a tap device for host interface communication some problems appear:
When creating the tapdevice with:
''VBoxTunctl -u $user -t $tap''
the device can be used by $user for host interface networking.

If we now add the user to the vboxusers group and create the tap device for that group:
''VBoxTunctl -g vboxusers -t $tap'' or:
''VBoxTunctl -u $user -g vboxusers -t $tap''
the device cannot be used by $user for host interface networking.

Host is Gentoo Linux Kernel 2.6.27r7.

Bye
