I have uploaded the ctx-17a kernel. This is a 2.4.21ctx-17 with a very little
modification: Intelligent source address selection for multi-IP vservers.
(Well, intelligent is a marketing trick, the real word should be "correct" or
"appropriate" since the previous kernel were not up to the task).
Mostly, for a multi-IP vserver, the source address of an outgoing is selected
using the routing table. The previous ctx kernel were always selecting the
first IP assigned to the vserver. Now vserver are matching standard kernel
for this behavior.
You need vserver-0.23 to make use of this. vserver-0.23 works with older kernel
and older vserver package won't operate at all with this kernel.
This is a snapshot. ctx-18 should be coming with new things, including the
chrootsafe system call. vserver 0.23 already support chrootsafe, but not
ctx-17a. So it will complain, but step back and use chroot instead.
Testers welcome.
