I suspect you are using a VPS, not a VPN: a virtual server. And I also suspect that your provider is supplying the kernel for the server from outside the mounted environment. This could be something that's easy to change (your provider will offer you a tool) or something that's impossible to change (you are not running in a full virtualized environment, but in a container or zone arrangement where your kernel is shared with the hosting machine). In either case, talk to tech support at your VPS provider and get the facts. -dsr- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
