Linux-VServer The Best Way to provide Virtual Dedicated Servers on Linux #9

Problematic Progreams

There are some programs do things that might not work inside a V-Server.

Usually on the program needs special rights which are not permitted by default in V-Servers.

Usually needs rebuild the program without capability to solve the problem. On debian system, it's simple to rebuild a package without capability.

$ apt-get source bind9
$ cd bind9-9.3.1/
$ vi debian/rules

Add --disable-linux-caps option right after the ./configure

eg: ./configure --disable-linux-caps --prefix=/usr \

Build the binary package
$ fakeroot debian/rules binary

Above are just example, please see more details on:
