I disagree, the name itself is of no importance at all, the fact, that the name of kernel patch is not equal to the userspace tools can at best be seen as an advantage which allows to have different version numbers for patch and tools ...

Other know how. So keep it in. agreed on that, but, and I guess that is the best solution for the moment, not necessarily in util-vserver which, at the moment, is Enricos domain only ... to simplify that, and because of some issues with the new syscall switch (or the userspace tools), I will release the c17f version as vserver-1.0, which works well with both userspace implementations (Jack's and Enrico's) so people can decide which tools they want to use ... so my wishes/suggestions are: a) Enrico, please continue the development of util-vserver in the way you think it's the best for the user ... b) Jack, please continue development of the 'original' vserver utilities, again, in the way you think it's best for the user ... c) Both, please adjust your tools to the vserver kernel development (which will add many features in the near future ...) d) Community, send your suggestions, wishes, bug reports, ideas to the developers ... best, Herbert _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.solucorp.qc.ca/mailman/listinfo/vserver
