[Vserver] Kernel Patching Questions

2003-11-30 Thread Charles Dale
1. include/linux/sys.h: vanilla 2.4.21 had #define NR_syscalls 270 but RHEL 2.4.21 has #define NR_syscalls 271 So should I make NR_syscalls now 274 or 275? 2. include/linux/sched.h: any ideas what to do with this hunk (following)? There's nothing even vaguely like it that I can see.

[Vserver] Compat Libs required for vserver-0.28

2003-11-29 Thread Charles Dale
Hi Jacques, Just a note: I had to install the compat-gcc-c++ RPM and associated dependencies in order to get the 0.28 tools to install on RH9. This wasn't needed with 0.25 or 0.26. Any reason why this is needed? # rpm -Uvh vserver-0.28-1.i386.rpm warning: vserver-0.28-1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA

Hi Tyrone, Unfortunately the documentation is still under development so you'll have to do a bit of work to understand how things function. That said, there is some documentation already, could you start from there and let us know what you need explained more? Then perhaps we can fill in the

RE: [Vserver] make on vserver with mandrake-9.2

2003-11-20 Thread Charles Dale
Hi Jean! Mm I think you're a little confused. The vserver package that you've downloaded doesn't have anything to do with the kernel - that's the userspace tools. And you don't need to compile them for yourself, because you can download a binary RPM here:

Hi Edy, 1. Grab either the v1.0 (stable) or v1.1.5 (development, release candidate) releases from http://linux-vserver.org/. Further kernel patch development is happening on linux-vserver.org, superseding the downloads on www.solucorp.qc.ca 2. If you use the development (1.1.5) release you will

[Vserver] A night with a Wiki

Hi Everyone, The recent Christmas joviality spurred me into some doc writing. I started a bit of reorganisation at good ol' linux-vserver.org. I've created a Step-by-Step Guide. It's rather malnourished at the moment (no it's not as simple as it might seem!), but remember that, unlike at the

Well Dovecot is quite nice (dovecot.something.fi, hmm you better ask Googs). BUT don't try it with mbox mailboxes. I got some pretty bad borkage. I also couldn't understand how the chrooting worked - it failed for some of my users but I couldn't work out why. It's probably great if you run it
