Using sudo comes to mind. The docs already suggest it's use for
configuring the tun interfaces when not using -user-net. It might rise
some security issues if not properly configured ( sudo + smbd I mean)
though.

Anyway, I don't think the auto-smb-config is such a terribly good idea.
I'd just better define some properly secured shares in the main samba
smb.conf for the computer.

As for the tun config, btw, maybe it'd make more sense using the patches
for specifying the tun interfaces to use in the command line that Lars
Munch posted a couple of weeks ago.
