The kernel 2.4.17ctx-7 is available at ftp.solucorp.qc.ca/pub/vserver. You
will find the usual binary release (SMP and uniprocessor) as usual, the file
patch-2.4.17ctx-7 (relative to vanilla 2.4.17) and the file
patches/patch-2.4.17-ctx6-ctx7
Here is a change log
The "no man land" feature of ctx-6 to plug chroot security issues was too agressive.
It now only applies to directories, not files. This solves the useradd issue.
"ps axf" works again. getppid() had been fixed to support the fakeinit concept
(one /sbin/init per vserver) and it was improperly handling process with
no parent (ppid == 0). It was always return 1 instead of 0 for those processes.
This was confusing "ps axf" for one.
/dev/pts was not readable "globally" by security context 1.
With all this behind us, we will concentrate on stuff like resource allocation
(per vserver ulimit) and multi-ip support.
Please beat this one :-)
