    Hi everyone,

    in the german linux-magazine of this month there is a very interesting
    article on vserver. I like the idea of encapsulating servers as much as
    possible to avoid harm to the system or to other servers. But as
    vservers all run with the same kernel - isn't it still posible to harm
    the kernel and therewith crack the whole system out of a vserver? How
    about user-mode-linux, is there any posibility to break out of it?

    If not - wouldn't it be great - one could set up a secure system with
    iptables and no services at all but vserver or user-mode-linux and then
    setup enviroments for each purpose needed... There must be some downside
    to it, isn't there?

    Best regards,

    Ralf Ronneburger
