well, the fact that you have two of them, one in /etc and another one in /usr/local/etc suggests that you did somehow manage to install the tools twice ... > Even when I "fool" the system by symlinking /vservers to /local/vservers, > when I create the vserver, the build process seems to install data into > /local/vservers/<server> but ALSO > /usr/local/etc/vservers/.defaults/vdirbase/<server> - and it is this > second location which the build process tries to chroot - is this second > location just a copy of the "proper" location used only when setting > up the vserver?
