Editing Talk:Slackware template creation

== klogd ==
I have added a note that klogd is needed sometimes. --[[User:Kir|Kir]] 15:43, 6 June 2006 (EDT)

== VE IP ==
Actually, since you do not run anything inside the temporary VE (777) which requires an IP address, you can omit the step of setting VE's OSTEMPLATE, an IP address and a hostname. This was done for Debian specifically because you have to run <tt>apt update</tt> and <tt>apt upgrade</tt> commands, which requires network to be working. So you can edit that out to simplify things. I have not done it yet because you might have other reasons to leave it. --[[User:Kir|Kir]] 15:43, 6 June 2006 (EDT)
: I have actually removed these settings from the text, since it looks like they are not needed, and you forgot to run <tt>vzctl set --ipdel</tt> so OS template cache ends up with the IP address which is wrong. So I followed the easy path and instead of adding the procedure of removing VE IP I just removed the adding of it! Also note that setting OSTEMPLATE is actually needed for <tt>vzctl set --ipadd</tt> to work. --[[User:Kir|Kir]] 16:15, 6 June 2006 (EDT)

== Typo + IPtables ==
I corrected a typo.
Also, I forgot to mention that IPtables needs modules from the running kernel in the VE to work, so
before cache creation or after VE creation the /lib/modules should be created with the needed iptables modules. --[[User:Scythe|Scythe]] 22:54, 6 June 2006 (CET)
: There is actually no need for iptables modules to be available inside VE for iptables to work, so you got it wrong. I have reverted your last change. No kernel modules are loaded inside VE at all -- so you do not need modutils as well. Also, can you please specify the summary then you are making a change? Otherwise it's not clear from the history page what have changed. It makes sense to select an option "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" in your preferences->editing. --[[User:Kir|Kir]] 05:05, 7 June 2006 (EDT)

-:: You are right, I accidentally mixed the openvz.org "official" template cache's root filesystem with my host's own, so I mislooked the /lib/modules directory... I also corrected the typo again (a missing ")" in the "Moving a Sl. installation into a VE" part) which You have included again when reverting my erroneous notice about iptables modules. --[[User:Scythe|Scythe]] 11:26, 7 June 2006 (CET)
-== Iptables error ==
-Hi all,
-I have installed a Slackware 11 and all is ok.
-The VE based upon che slackware 11 cache returns an error when I add an Iptables rule:
-<code>iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT</code>
-<code>iptables: Unknown error 4294967295</code>
-I think that it depends on the <code>-m state</code> but I do not know how to solve it.
-Any suggestions?
-*SOLVED*
-In the <VE>.conf (or in the vz.conf) I must include <code>IPTABLES="ipt_state ..."</code>
