this is ok too! while all virtual servers run on the same host kernel,
they are separated by 3 distinct characteristics namely: the context
number, the chroot dir, the ipvroot (binding to 1 IP only).
processes on different context numbers cannot see/affect each other (via
signals nor via /proc). hanep! it also enforces root capability limiting
so root users in the virtual servers cant, for example, reboot the host
machine, load bad kernel modules or launch flood pings.
disadvantage: you can only either allow a vserver 1 IP address. of
course, customers cant recompile nor reboot their kernel.
