Yes, that is accomplished now. Thanks!

"reboot -f" simply returns to the prompt without actually restarting
anything, as do "halt -f" and "shutdown -nr now". The latter one issues:

zope3 ~ # shutdown -nr now
shutdown: can't idle init.

Broadcast message from root (pts/2) (Thu Jan 27 22:33:06 2005):

The system is going down for reboot NOW!

/sbin/rc reboot (Gentoo's default inittab entry for runlevel 6)
shuts down everything, but doesn't reenter the default runlevel
afterwards.

The vserver has the capability CAP_NET_RAW to be pingable. Tried
CAP_SYS_BOOT in addition but that didn't change anything.

Also tried setting the fakeinit flag, but than the vserver to refuses
to work...

Still any suggestions for a working what's wrong with my setup?

Regards,
Torsten
