I'm running OpenVPN using the tun driver (which is compiled into the kernel). I restarted openvpn a few times and now I have multiple interfaces in cfgmaker without a name and IP. Only the last interface has an IP, but no name. I am trying to gather stats and changing interface names don't help when trying to build reliable reporting systems... ;)

This is a production server in a data warehouse (aka in a land far far away...) so I'd rather not reboot or recompile my kernel. How do I reset the numbering without rebooting?

For example, this is the output of the last 2 interfaces found:
Code:

...
### Interface 5 >> Descr: '' | Name: '' | Ip: '' | Eth: '' ###
### The following interface is commented out because:
### * it is administratively DOWN
### * it is operationally DOWN
### * has a speed of 0 which makes no sense
### * --ifref=descr is not unique for this interface
