Hello, I'm experimenting with chbind in order to force the init process (/sbin/init) into a network context with 2 IPs (localhost and a single private IP). I call a script at systemboot called /sbin/vinit (via init=/sbin/vinit) #!/bin/sh exec /usr/sbin/chbind --nid 2 --ip 192.168.2.24 \ --ip 127.0.0.1 -- /sbin/init $@ When using --nid 1 the script is working but the binding to the addresses doesn't work. The processes bind to any available IP. When using --nid 2 the init process stops with the line telling me about it's usage (like when you give the wrong number of arguments) and I am ending up with a kernel panic. Is it actually possible to use chbind on the init process? Otherwise I could build wrappers for my init scripts - I used them with earlier versions - but it's always been a bit improvised. To have the complete root server bound to a network context and only bound to localhost and one ip address would be quite handy. Any ideas? The output of vserver-info is below.
