[Planetlab-devel] myplc-native tests

[Thierry Parmentelat]

just a quick note to mention that on my new test box based on  
centos5.1/x86_64, I have the following issue
I'd be happy to know if you see similar issues on your own test boxes.

/etc/plc.d/bootmanager fails because the initialisation of /dev/random  
has failed :
[vtest-4.2-3.onelab.2008.03.02.i386-vnode01] / # mknod /dev/random c 1 9
mknod: `/dev/random': Operation not permitted

and this despite the MKNOD capability that is granted
[root at wlab24 vservers]# cat /etc/vservers/vtest-4.2-3.onelab. 
2008.03.02.i386-vnode01/bcapabilities
CAP_MKNOD
CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE

I had seen that working a while back; this could be linked to either  
using centos, or to using a x86_64_kernel, or a possibly different  
version of (util-)vserver)
