this is what i have on the host:

# cd /etc/vservers/alf/interfaces/
mosques:/etc/vservers/alf/interfaces# ls
0 1
mosques:/etc/vservers/alf/interfaces# ls 1/
dev ip mask nodev
mosques:/etc/vservers/alf/interfaces# cat 1/*
lo
127.0.0.1
8

i can ping localhost and 127.0.0.1 inside the vserver but this does not
work: the rembo daemon does not start. also, i've added CAP_NET_ADMIN
and got the same result.

what i think may bring some light is the following:
if i try to execute the server (it is statically linked) on the host it
works!
so i've compared the output of strace and i get:

alf (vserver):
...
socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP) = 4
bind(4, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(0),
sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16) = 0
getsockname(4, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(33018),
sin_addr=inet_addr("10.20.102.239")}, [16]) = 0
futex(0xb7f5b1f0, FUTEX_WAKE, 2147483647) = 0
write(2, "Error on interface 10.20.102.239"..., 33Error on interface
10.20.102.239

and it dies.

mosques(host):
...
socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP) = 4
bind(4, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(0),
sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16) = 0
getsockname(4, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(33018),
sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, [16]) = 0
close(4) = 0
uname({sys="Linux", node="mosques", ...}) = 0
... and continue ahead.

after the 'bind' call, why does alf execute a getsockname with
10.20.102.239 (just before die) while mosques pass 127.0.0.1 and
continues successfully? is it due to chbind?

once more is clear that not having the source code is like selling your
soul, but we have no other viable alternative.

don't know why that code looks for 127.0.0.1. on the other 'real' rembo
servers i have there's nothing in the config about the 'lo' interface.

i need it because i run a dhcpd server on the same vserser (as i do in
the 'real' other rembo servers).
