[Vserver] Tomcat on Vserver

2006-01-10 Thread Khan

Hello,

I'm having some problems installing tomcat5 on vserver guest. I think it
can't listen on guest's IP addresses. How Can I force tomcat to listen
only on guest IP.

In that case: Wouldn't then a simple cron-script on the host producing
an actual list into a plain textfile inside the guest solve your
problem? Maybe a simple hourly base could do that?



	That would not help it. The requirement is that rpm commands 
should work from within the guest OS. In this particular case the list of 
the rpms installed in the vserver must be returned by executing the 
appropriate rpm commands.

Probably both are true.

Reading step three of the virtual tour does not say that the ip rules
are 'within' your virtual server.  Only that the rules that apply to
your virtual server can be controlled by a web interface (on the host
system) most likely.

That would be fairly straight forward thing to do, just write 
rule chain(s) for a particular IP address.  Constrain the web update
to do dynamic rules on the rule chain for a particular customer.

For instance, start with the dynamic rule handling of PSAD, be creative 
with the chain naming, add a web interface, etc.

hmm, well, I guess the only way to do that in a save manner
is to provide the information via some interface, e.g. 
maybe use a web page for the queries or, if you think that
a read-only access is secure, mount the database into the
guest (but read-only)

My only comments on this logo is that the repeated checkmarks look too
much like the Nike logo, especially the red one, which they used
specifically. I have no doubts that a megacorporation like Nike would
find offense with this logo as it is now and would write threatening
letters.

Hi,

on the hosting page in the wiki the provider [vRoutix], Argentina
anounces iptables support inside a vserver client while i read on the
beginners faq page that the forward chain is not touched by packets

Which one is true? :) Do they use some sort of tap or tun devices?

2. The top 10 logos are published and get in extensive review and public

Herbert,

A short note on this...

Near the top of my to-do list for 2006 is
to see if I can make the ACL system 'xid aware'.

Similar to user and group permission lists, there
would be an xid permission list (and a per directory
xid default).

Both the Linux code implementation and the 'standard'
for ACL allows extensions.

If practical, this would solve this sort of installation
problem.  The mapping of the same (Sub-)tree into multiple
servers while still being selective about permissions on
a per server basis.

Don't hold your breath - I work slow.

basically the solution is simple, just mount some partition
(or a directory with --bind) into both guests, and they
will have both access to it, using BME patches you can also
'mount --bind -o ro' into the samba guest

mount --bind /vservers/guestA/ /vservers/guestB/

(make sure to do it _before_ you start the guests, or from
within the namespace of the second one)

so you are on a 2.4 kernel I assume ...

yes, you will very likely run into permission issues with
xid tagging enabled on the 'shared' directory, because new
files will be tagged by one guest and denied to the other
(an untagged partition would help here)

change to an internal rpm database ...

from the 'vserver --help':

pkgmgmt externalize|internalize [-y]
... externalize or internalize the package-management for the
given vserver. 'Externalize' means that package metadata
and management tools (apt-get,rpm) are living in the host,
while 'internalize' means that data and programs from the
vserver will be used.

.. and maintain the guest (on the host) with
the internal database ...

[Vserver] possible for host and guest to share rpm database?

2006-01-10 Thread Dimitris Zilaskos


Hello ,

I am using linux vserver with gentoo as host os and scientific linux
guest  os(RHEL compatible).  I am managing the rpm packages from the host os 
with vapt-get and vyum.
	However there is a requirement on certain vservers that their 
users have to be able to execute rpm -qa and get a list of the 
installed rpms . Naturally right now the list is empty.
	I would like to avoid having to maintain both an internal and 
external rpm database. Is it possible somehow for the vrpm from the host 
os and rpm from within the vserver to return the same list?


TIA,

[Vserver] Making two vservers see the same data/directory structore.

2006-01-10 Thread Etienne Pretorius

Hello all,

I don't quite know where to ask or what to google for but here is my 
situation:


I have a vserver guest runnning an ftp daemon and another vserver guest 
running samba.
What I need to do is to mount, or just make it avalible, the ftp data in 
the samba server.
I dont want to give the samba users access to writing - only reading, so 
hopefully that will

solve some permission issues.

Lets say the ftp data is mounted in the samba server under 
/usr/local/samba/ftp.


So how would I accomplish this? Also I am using ext3 filesystems with 
the diskquota

per vserver context application - would this effect the quota?

Thank you.
Etienne Pretorius
