This is the embarassing thing - I can't find the patched sources
anywhere:/ One was to the vserver shell script, which I've rescued
off the server. Basically this just did this:
- cp -ax /sbin /bin /etc /usr /var /lib /vservers/$1/. || exit 1
+ cp -ax /vservers/skel.b/* /vservers/$1/. || exit 1
and removed all the stuff for ifconfig up|down, netmask and similar
(this was all put in separate scripts), but it is the vbuild.cc which I
don't have. This forced a copy with hard links from skel.a, and
also removed any use of rpms (I really don't like that Redhat
PackageMangler ..) plus a couple of other things. All I have now is
the compiled executable. Arrgghhh

Now it gets worse. Having just built a new kernel and plonked
it into /boot, I find that /boot is empty. All previous kernels,
boot.b and others are missing - just a 'kernel.h' for some
reason. This is RH 7.3. How could this happen?? Could it be
something to do with the ctx's changing to figures like 1755?
I built this kernel the same way as I've built every other kernel
so I'm stumped on this one. It seems that I've got to re-install
lilo to get boot.b and friends back (it won't work without it).
PS. this list is set for replies to go to the sender, rather than to
the list. Could someone change this please
