VServer: Is fakeinit obsolete ?

[Declan Mullen <declan@jadplace.com>]

Hi

Using Debian's "newvserver" utility to create VServer guests, there does 
not seem to be any difference between a guest created with the 
"--fakeinit" option and a guest created without the option. Ie they both 
look as if they were created with the "--fakeinit" option. Eg when 
starting them,  from the host's command line neither shows their init.d 
services being started, and from within each guest ps shows an "init" 
process.

Should I be seeing a difference ?

Both host and guests are Debian Lenny. The host's kernel is Lenny's
"linux-source-2.6.26" (version "2.6.26-13") with Lenny's vserver patches
applied from "linux-patch-debian-2.6.26" (version "2.6.26-13"). The
host's util-vserver package is version "0.30.216~r2772-6". The
host's "vserver-debiantools" package is version "0.6.3".

The guests were created via:

 newvserver --vsroot /var/lib/vservers/ --hostname maxv1 \
  --domain jadplace.com --ip 192.168.0.121/24 --fakeinit \
  -mirror "ftp://ftp.iinet.net.au/debian/debian";

and

 newvserver --vsroot /var/lib/vservers/ --hostname maxv2 \
  --domain jadplace.com --ip 192.168.0.122/24            \
  -mirror "ftp://ftp.iinet.net.au/debian/debian";

Many thanks,
