How did you create the guest? Are you using internal package management, without telling the utils? Probably too much cleverness on my part. I used rpm to remove the previous util-vserver install and then re-installed it. All ( so far ) seems to be working correctly. I do get the message from vyum: ---===+++***+++===--- You are using a version of yum which is insecure and broken in chroot related operations; either apply the patches shipped in the 'contrib/' directory of util-vserver, or ask the author of yum to apply them (preferred). In the meantime, 'vyum' will continue with dirty hacks which might not work when the vserver is running and local DOS attacks are possible. Execution will continue in 5 seconds... ---===+++***+++===--- but then goes on and installs. I'm currently stuffing in a few of the suggested rpms (Step #5) then I'll give it a new whirl.

Did you try without the patched yum? Maybe I was being too clever and installed before trying. Been a few days ago and I've been 'into' another project so I can't remember why I did. I seem to remember there being a _good_ reason ;-) I'm going back to the old version now. It is looking difficult to do. No force/go-back option with yum. BTW, thanks for the excellant RPMs. They have made things much easier ( until my cleverness got the better of me. ) Rod -- ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
