correct ... unfortunately, some dubious people (users)

sounds good ...

I had some thought on this issue, and I guess it would
be the best solution, to freeze all processes (not
with SIG_STOP but) by NOT scheduling any of the vserver
tasks anymore? why?

- you could have a good look at the processes from
  outside (couldn't you?)
- you probably could send any signal from ctx-1 or
  from vserver <ctx> enter? (am I wrong?)
- after unfreezing SIG_KILL signalled processes, it
  should have the same effect as the kernel loop
  above (shouldn't it?)

what do you think about? let me know!

best,
Herbert
