  /etc/init.d/lighttpd: ulimit: exceeds allowable limit

  Fix: remove ''-u unlimited'' from ''DEFAULT_SERVICE_LIMITS'' in ''/etc/sysconfig/system'' or per service config.

  {{{
  test sshd[17644]: error: Bind to port 22 on 192.168.0.1 failed: Cannot assign requested address.
  }}}
  
  Fix: set separate addresses after ''ListenAddress'' in ''/etc/ssh/sshd_config'' both on host system. (not necessary on guest as it's limited to chbind addresses anyway)
  
+ === bind won't install because of a mknod problem ===
+ 
+ bind requires some special device nodes inside it's chroot jail located in ''/var/lib/named''. Vserver security does not allow device node creation so you will have to install the package specifying {{{--exclude-dirs=/var/lib/named/dev}}} and then create the devices from outside of the vserver context.
