Do the same with sshd >Then there are the daemons run from (x)inetd.conf.

I find that ftp, pop and smtp will work off xinetd, using the standard VS entry, even though they are working on the host and so do not need the 'virtuald' entry. I'm not at all sure why, but there is no problem. OTOH, the only reason I have users on the host, rather than putting them all into a virtual server, is that I can't get ssh and ftp to work there. To explain that:- ssh and ftp work fine for the admin of a VS, but when I add 'virtual domains' to a VS, proftpd refuses to read the 'virtualhost' entries and ssh refuses to connect (yes, these users have 'login' enabled). >FreeVSD seems to work by using a program (/usr/sbin/virtuald) that (i >assume) loads up the relevant daemon (in this case "in.telnetd") in the >correct chrooted environment (whether that be the host server or a >particular VS) when a connection request comes in (depending on what IP >address the connection is to.) > >So, for standalone daemons, you need to setup their config files to >ensure that it ONLY listens on the host servers IP address.
