Tools and patches (2004.12.07 05:01:00)

We currently migrate to MediaWiki from our old installation, but not all content has been migrated yet. Take a look at the Wiki Team page for instructions how to help or browse through our new wiki at wiki.linux-vserver.org to find the information already migrated.

Userspace Tools

• Enrico's util-vserver (stable version)
  • [source code]
  • [debian package]
  • [mandrake rpm]
  • Util-VServer for RH9
  • Ubuntu: you can find the [util-vserver package] in the Ubuntu universe archive.

• alpha util-vserver (development version for use with 1.9x series)

  • [debian vserver tools] This is collection of debian specific vserver tools
  • [vapt]
  • [Bind9] These are the debian woody packages for Bind 9, recompiled with the --disable-linux-caps option. You can run these bind packages in a vserver without the need for the S_CAPS="CAP_SYS_RESOURCE" option in the vserver configuration file.

  • [Debian-newvserver] This script installs Debian straight off the web from Debian.org's world-wide network of mirrors. It's included in the vserver-debiantools package for debian. You can use this script to install debian vservers on top of other distributions.

Kernel patches

• [Various Kernel Patches] (netconsole, RO --bind, ...)
• [Con Kolivas] (Con Kolivas (ck) patches) - grsec patches are in extras.
• [Grepmaster's Patches] (grsecurity patched for linux-vserver compatibility)
• [Grsec+Vserver] (another grsecurity patched for linux-vserver compatibility) and DaPhreak?'s Patches Mirror
• [DaPhreak's patches] (yet another location for grsec patches: vserver+grsecurity+bme)
• [KBrown's patches] (linux-vserver + grsecurity patches against vanilla kernel)
• [DaCa's patches] (yet another location for grsec patches: grsecurity+vserver+devicemapper)
• [grsecurity patches]
• [openwall patches] Kernel hardening patches that apply cleanly with vserver, no source patching required.
• [ext2/3 extended attributes and posix acls] Modified patches for use with vserver patch (2.4 kernels)
• [official debian vserver kernel patches]
• [Linuxpourtous Patchs and kernel images for woody]

NOTE: If you want to use one of the Vserver+Grsecurity patches with RBAC you need to apply the [gradm2 patch] and the [kernel patch] to be able to use CAP_CONTEXT in your RBAC policy. Inheritance of RBAC rules within contexts coming soon ;-)

Administration Tools and Scripts

• [GNU coreutils and findutils patches for xid awareness]
