Linux vserver shares the kernel between the various virtual hosts, a little like BSD jails. There are restrictions on what one can do: not even root can modify network interfaces or even create a node (using mknod) or mount a filesystem, so breaking out of the virtualhost is pretty hard. No guarantees, but to answer your question, yes, it does protect the host OS. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
