Have you considered supporting the Free Software that has made this possible
for you by paying "over a thousand dollars" to either the Free Software
Foundation, or perhaps the author who has put in many weeks of development
time?

The most recent ctx-12/13 patches (utils-0.19) have this in:
ftp://ftp.solucorp.qc.ca/pub/vserver/patch-2.4.19ctx-13

Stop running ident in the main server; you don't need anything except SSH
running on the Host server. (infact, stop running inetd in there too).
("Same answer again": Ident in the main server has already grabbed the auth
[ident] port for every single IP address (`0.0.0.0') on the [whole] server.)

These two programs seem to be used for `vanity' IRC addresses and seem to
promote wasting of precious IP address space.
The previous person who complained that he couldn't get these programs to
work, seemed to not want to put any effort into helping to find out *why*
they weren't working for him (or other people as you seem to be having a
similar problem).
If you can find out where in the source the problem you believe is
happening, I'm sure people will work to fix a bug if one is there in the
vserver portion (rather than the userspace application program).

Don't run anything except SSH--(including disabling inetd)--in the host
server (and manually set SSH address using:
ListenAddress 192.168.0.2
directive in the `/etc/ssh/sshd_config' file). This will get rid of alot of
your `problems' and allow you to find out what is happening more clearly.

What exactly are these programs complaining about when you set *their* IP
address in *their* configuration file or command-line parameters to be
something different?
Is there an binding to localhost going on in there that could be causing any
problems?
