[Vserver] Limiting a vserver's ressources

Hi, I do run 15 vservers on a AMD Athlon(tm) XP 3000+ with 1gig of RAM. Last night I tried to backup my system remotely using rsync and the system load did temporarly go up to 60 (and higher). Consequently my system was not available for several hours. Therefore I would like to know how I can

[Vserver] Vserver instead of chroot

Hi, I am working for a small ISP and we would like to give our users shell access on the systems. Therefore I thought of implementing a chroot environment but there is the problem that I need to copy everything into the chroot environment to make it work properly and that can be quite a mess.

Re: [Vserver] Vserver instead of chroot

Hi Herbert, thanks for your mail. what kind of shell access? like a typical 'user' account? Yes, I meant normal user access. Is there a way NOT to give users root privileges in the vserver environment because I don't want the users to be able to locally install software, they should just be
