We've just started using OpenVZ on a test box here at work and I've come across some odd things I don't understand, and can't figure out from the wiki.
It began when I attempted to start an NIS client on a CT and it couldn't bind to the NIS server, which is on the host system. However, other networking functionality seemed to work properly: ping, wget, ssh, etc... (BTW, other physical hosts on the same LAN can bind to the NIS server on that host just fine) I checked connectivity from the CT to the host, and it seemed fine. The host has the IP address 10.1.10.60 and the CT has the address 10.1.10.101. The CT's network interface is venet0:0 which is a PTP, and there is also a venet0 with no address. This seems to make sense given what I've read on the wiki. The part that has me scratching my head is this: ct-101:/# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.0.2.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 venet0 0.0.0.0 192.0.2.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 venet0 I have no idea where this address is coming from or why network functionality seems to work at all with this here! I'm really not sure what questions to ask or what to search for, hence this email to the list! :) BTW, both host and CT are debian lenny systems. I started with a template that was already there, called "debian-5.0-x86". OpenVZ was installed and configured on this system by someone else, but I can't figure out what he may have done. Any hints as to what's going on, and furthermore, how I might be able to get the NIS client working? -- -- Steve Scaffidi <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] https://openvz.org/mailman/listinfo/users
