No I do not think this is a very good idéa as the vserver should be
as stripped as possible. If you need this you can configure that later.
It was a nice suggestion though but vpn things within a vserver is not a
very common thing.

You can configure this in the newvserver.conf configuration file.

Bug#310938: vserver-debiantools: add a few more things during newvserver possible ?

2005-05-26 Thread gary ng
Package: vserver-debiantools
Version: 0.1.10
Severity: wishlist

I am testing out the vserver features and like it very much, however, I
am wondering if it is possible to add a few things during the newvserver
creation stage as the following :

1. mknod /dev/tap? and /dev/net/tun

The rationale is that for typical vserver usage(say VDS hosting),
networking is a must and for my own experience, I like to setup a
openvpn tunnel between my vserver at my service provider and my home
machine and openvpn needs tap/tun

2. install ssh daemon 

Again, even I have changed my hosting server's sshd to listen to its own
address, I cannot ssh into the client server because it is not installed
during the bootstrap process(I have to chroot into it to install it). 
While this can be done during the package selection of the debootstrap 
process, I think this is better to be the default as that is the easiest 
way to have a vserver up properly in one shoot.

just my 0.02 cent.
