Hello Alan, Do a ls -l /home/vsd/skel You should have a directory in there that is called freevsd-skel-1_4_9-2rh62 this is your skel name. Also check that this skel is an activated skel it should be listed in /etc/vsd/vsd.conf you should have something simular to
<Partition 0> # Mount point of disk device Mount /home/vsd/ # Maximum number of virtual servers MaxVS 10 Skel freevsd-skel-1_4_9-2rh62 </Partition> There you have the name of the Skel as freevsd-skel-1_4_9-2rh62 which shows that vsd recognize this skel as an installed functional skel. So when you create your VS you should type vsdadm vs_create aphrodite.domain.com zeus 192.168.2.3 zeus.domain.com 200 0 5 freevsd-skel-1_4_9-2rh62 also be sure that aphrodite.domain.com is represented in /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.2.2 aphrodite.domain.com aphrodite (I assume the servers ip is 192.168.2.2) Sunday, January 20, 2002, 19:54:51 PM, you wrote: AM> [The sender might be a spam source.
