Ok, I could never get debian to work as the root server so I installed 
redhat 7.3 recompiled the patched kernel, installed all the packages ran 
(vserver test build), edited the conf files and had the same problem 
that I had with debian, if I telnet or ssh in I end up going to my main 
server.  I tried the suggestion that Jacques Gelinas gave a while back 
stopped sshd and xinetd and started v_sshd and v_xinetd and things 
finally started working (that should really be in the install manual).
  So I got the debian image (mini-debian-vservers-020.tgz) and followed 
the instructions.  Now it seems I can ssh to it, but I don't know the 
root password.  *'ed; does not work.  I can't change the password 
because when I try to enter it with (vserver debian enter) I get the 
following error:
ipv4root is now 192.168.0.56
New security context is 60
/usr/lib/vserver/capchroot: relocation error: /lib/libnss_compat.so.2: 
symbol _nss_files_parse_pwent, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file 
libc.so.6 with link time reference
Any ideas?
Brandon.
