Building CentOS 6 Guest

Here is a quick guide to building a CentOS 6 Guest. I didn't see instructions on here.

I followed the instructions from http://www.paul.sladen.org/vserver/archives/201202/0085.html with some updates.

copy /usr/lib64/util-vserver/distributions/sl6/ to /usr/lib64/util-vserver/distributions/centos6/

add to/usr/lib64/util-vserver/distributions/centos6/pkgs/03 with the following list:

mc
passwd
tar
unzip
zip
bzip2
gzip
crontabs
shadow-utils
yum
openssh-server
rsyslog-mysql
xinetd
at
wget
yum-utils
tmpwatch

delete :/usr/lib64/util-vserver/distributions/centos6/yum.repos.d/sl.repo

copy the CentOS-Base.repo from your main Centos 6 repository /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo to /usr/lib64/util-vserver/distributions/centos6/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo

edit your copied CentOS-Base.repo and remove the addons sections as that will not work.

after this I install Vserver with: vserver cos62 build -m yum --hostname cos62.domain.at --interface eth0:x.x.x.x/24 -- -d centos6

Bind ssh to ip in /vservers/cos6x/etc/ssh/sshd_config ListenAddress x.x.x.x

del /vservers/cos62/etc/localtime cp /etc/localtime /vservers/cos62/etc/localtime

you should have a working CentOS 6 Guest
