The tun dev is statically created, and the perms are adjusted in
/lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules then if you need to adjust these
perms make a file >50 in /etc/udev/rules.d/ like this:

[root at arch32 ~]# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/99-myperms.rules
KERNEL=="tun", NAME="net/%k", MODE="0660", GROUP="network"


[root at arch32 ~]# ls -l /dev/net/tun
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 10, 200 2009-03-07 21:43 /dev/net/tun
[root at arch32 ~]# modprobe tun
[root at arch32 ~]# ls -l /dev/net/tun
crw-rw---- 1 root network 10, 200 2009-03-07 21:43 /dev/net/tun
