Package: util-vserver
Version: 0.30.210-10
Severity: normal

Hi *!

It seems that /usr/sbin/vlimit dies when the path to the config
directory contains a symlink:

tom:/etc/vservers# ls -lad apt-cacher
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 44 Aug 29 13:48 apt-cacher ->
/var/lib/vservers/_infra/_config/apt-cacher/
tom:/etc/vservers# vserver apt-cacher start
vlimit: fstat("/etc/vservers/apt-cacher/rlimits"): Permission denied
[...]


The same config works, when bind-mounting the config into place.

/var/lib/vservers/_infra is on external storage which can be accessed by
a standby server in case of a failure, therefore I also need the config
on this volume. 


See also http://irc.13thfloor.at/LOG/2006-06/LOG_2006-06-29.txt for a
discussion of this problem.


Regards, David
