[vserver] Root users differentiation

2006-05-05 Thread joeytrviano
Hello,Sorry for that newbie question but I couldn't find any info about that.I would like to know how host root user and each vserver root users are differentiated by the system.Are they one same user just chrooted in each vserver directory or are there several users named root at different levels?
Thanks a lot,Mehdi Bennani

every root user is different ...

Linux-VServer provides virtualization for GNU/Linux systems. This is
accomplished by kernel level isolation. It allows to run multiple
virtual units at once. Those units are sufficiently isolated to
   
guarantee the required security, but utilize available resources
^^^
efficiently, as they run on the same kernel.


simply try different passwords for each root user ...

Why do you need vservers ?

A) Many Tasks on the same Box

 Also, you can give the root password of a vserver to one administrator
 and he will be able to perform updates, restart services and so on
 without having to know about every other project hosted on a server.
