I usually just let it make the vserver where the tool puts it normally (under /var/lib/vservers/<guest>, I believe) and then move/link it under the "joint" directory. I suppose it should work your way, I just can't vouch for it. > mv /etc/vservers/web2 /VSERVERS/web2/etc/ > ln -s /VSERVERS/web2/etc/web2 /etc/vservers/ Again, this should probably work, but it does add one extra directory level to the mix that I don't have. I usually instead make it more like this: mv /etc/vservers/web2 /VSERVERS/web2 ln -s /VSERVERS/web2/etc /etc/vservers/web2 At this point my suggestion would be to use the attribute tools to look at the status of the following directories: /VSERVERS/ /VSERVERS/web2/ /VSERVERS/web2/etc/ /VSERVERS/web2/etc/web2 /VSERVERS/web2/ /VSERVERS/web2/barrier /VSERVERS/web2/barrier/var to see if any of them have the barrier set on them. I believe that only the barrier directory should. -Martin
