I'm reviewing those manually as we have botnets sending automated account requests for seemingly no benefit, so they might be a bit delayed from time to time.however, I wanted to know how exactly the system works --- does it _require_ a tap device, or can I safely remove that file from the compilation target (I know that pasta requires it, though)?passt itself doesn't need a tap device, but note that tap.c is a bit of a misnomer: it refers to anything guest/container side (be it a UNIX domain socket, a pre-opened file, or an actual tuntap network interface). I guess a reasonable way forward would be to conditionally disable pasta-related functions, in tap.c and elsewhere, for non-Linux targets (perhaps easier: conditionally enable them for Linux?). That is, you won't need tap_handler_pasta() and friends, but you'll need tap_handler_passt(). -- Stefano
