Hello,

I am runnung VServer 2.0.2.1 with 2.6.17.13 kernel on a Debian Etch machine.
util-vserver in version 0.30.211. The guest (vserver) is running Etch too. I
have set CAP_SYS_BOOT in /etc/vservers/<vservername>/bcapabilities. Every time
I want to reboot from within the guest (vserver) I get the following error:

CAP_SYS_BOOT is given by default, as it's handled specially in the kernel.

shutdown: timeout opening/writing control channel /dev/initctl
init: timeout opening/writing control channel /dev/initctl

As expected if you're not running an init (i.e. using the plain initstyle). You'll have to use reboot -f to invoke vshelper which would reboot the guest.

What is with vshelper? Is this needed for rebooting in VServer 2.x too?

Yes.
