sounds good! but are you sure linux-vserver is the product you were looking for? because it seems you might be happier with Xen or UML ... > > I'm now trying to setup a Netatalk vserver, and the Appletalk > > protocol seems not to be my friend :( .

(The host kernel is not the same as the vservers's ones) well, guest modules and/or kernels are, as I mentioned before, not used/allowed in linux-vserver, did you load the guest module on the host? > I'm stuck there, any idea ? did you compile your host kernel (the linux-vserver patched one) with appletalk support? did you load the proper module and 'configure' whatever appletalk requires (on the host)? > How are the non-IP protocols handled but linux-vserver ? they are not handled at all, most likely you need special capabilites (like CAP_NET_RAW) to bind non IP sockets ... > Are module loads really allowed ? no, they should not be allowed, are they allowed for you (inside your guests)? best, Herbert > -- > ,, > (°> Nicolas Costes > /|\ IUT de La Roche / Yon > ( ^ ) Clé publique: http://www.keyserver.net/ > ^ ^ Musique libre: http://musique-legale.info/ - > http://www.jamendo.com/ > _______________________________________________ > Vserver mailing list > [email protected] > http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list [email protected] http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
