This is just to keep a trace for myself on how to create a Vserver with Internet connectivity.

Create the network interface
Edit /etc/network/interfaces and add:

auto dummy0
iface dummy0 inet static
address 192.168.50.1
netmask 255.255.255.0


Restart the network

/etc/init.d/networking restart


Turns the NAT on

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

eth0 here is the network interface you use for your network access.

Create the VM

sudo vserver build build -n cyrus2.3 -m debootstrap --netdev dummy0 --interface 192.168.50.2/24 -- -d lenny


Enter the VM

sudo vserver cyrus2.3 start
sudo vserver cyrus2.3 enter


In this example I list the installed software on the Vista machine from a Debian Sid with samba4 packages.

I’d to enable (with lusrmsgr.msc) and use the Administrator account.

Mozilla still builds against libstdc++5…


/opt/thunderbird-2.0.0.23$ ./thunderbird
./thunderbird-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


The solution is very simple. Just use libstdc++5 from Lenny:

http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gcc-3.3/libstdc++5_3.3.6-18_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i libstdc++5_3.3.6-18_i386.deb
