Package: util-vserver
Severity: importat

The README.Debian included in util-vserver states:

chmod 000 $VROOTDIR
chattr +t $VROOTDIR

This is *not* the right thing to do anymore. According to Bertl and
Doener on the irc channel, the proper thing is to do:

setattr --barrier $VROOTDIR

in 2.4 version of the utilities the chmod/chattr stuff is right, but
in 2.6 it is not. The setattr --barrier is smart and knows which one
to do depending on your setup. 

Additionally, this should be done as:

setattr --barrier /vservers/<vserver>/.. on each vserver created,
unless *all* your vservers are really directly below /vservers (which
is a *directory*, not a symlink), then it is fine to just do it on
/vservers.

This is an important documentation issue that I think should be
addressed for sarge, and the release managers have said that they will
allow documentation changes to enter into sarge (I've managed to get
this done myself). So I would highly recommend making this simple
change and uploading it and making a request to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
to allow it in.
