Virtual Services Howto
Brian Ackerman, brian@nycrc.net
v1.2, 4 November 1997
This document came about to satisfy the ever increasing need to know
how to virtualize a service.
1. Introduction
1.1. Knowledge Required
Creating a virtual services machine is not all that difficult.
However, more than fundamental knowledge is required. And this
document is not a primer to how to fully configure a Linux machine.
In order to understand this HOWTO document it is assumed that you are
thoroughly familiar with the following:
╖ Compiling a Linux kernel and adding IP aliasing support IP alias
mini-HOWTO
╖ Setting up and configuring of network devices NET-3 HOWTO
╖ Setting up of inetd NET-3 HOWTO
╖ Compiling and installing various network packages like Sendmail
Site Apache Site Wu-Ftpd FAQ
╖ Setting up DNS DNS HOWTO
If you are uncertain of how to proceed with any of the above it is
STRONGLY recommended that you use the links provided to familiarize
yourself with all packages. I will NOT reply to any mail reguarding
any of the above. Please direct any questions to the appropriate
author of the HOWTO.
1.2. Purpose
The purpose of virtual services is to allow a single machine to
recognize multiple IP addresses without multiple network cards. IP
aliasing is a kernel option that allows you to assign each network
device more than one IP address. The kernel then multiplexes (swaps
between them very fast) in the background and to the user it appears
like you have more than one network card.
This multiplexing allows multiple domains (www.domain1.com,
www.domain2.com, etc.) to be hosted by the same machine for the same
cost as hosting one domain. Unfortunately, most services (ftp, web,
mail) were not designed to handle muliple domains. In order to make
them work properly you must modify both configuration files and source
code. This document describes how to make these modifications in the
setting up of a virtual machine.
A deamon is also required in order to make virtual services function.
The source for this daemon (virtuald) is provided later in this
document.
1.3. Feedback
This document will expand as packages are updated and source or
configuration modifications change. If there are any portions of
this document that are unclear please feel free to email me with your
suggestions or questions. So that I do not have to go searching
through the entire HOWTO please make certain that all comments are as
specific as possible and include the section where the uncertainty
lies. It is important that all mail be addressed with VIRTSERVICES
HOWTO in the subject line. Any other mail will be considered personal
and all my friends know that I do not ever read my personal mail so it
will probably get discarded with theirs.
Please note that my examples are just that, examples and should not be
copied verbatim. You may have to insert your own values. If you
are having trouble, send me mail, with all the pertinent configuration
files and the error messages you get when installing, and I will look
them over and mail my suggestions back.

2. IP aliasing
IP aliasing is a kernel option that needs to be set up in order to run
a virtual hosting machine. There is already a mini-HOWTO on IP
aliasing. Consult that for any questions on how to set it up.
3. Virtuald
3.1. How it works
Every network connection is made up of two IP address/port pairs. The
API (Applications Program Interface) for network programming is called
the Sockets API. The socket acts like an open file and by
reading/writing to it you can send data over a network connection.
There is a function call getsockname that will return the IP address
of the local socket. Virtuald uses getsockname to determine which IP
on the local machine is being accessed. Virtuald reads a config file
to retrieve the directory associated with that IP. It will
chroot to that directory and hand the connection off to the service.
Chroot resets / or the root directory to a new point so everything
higher in the directory tree is cut off from the running program.
Therefore, each IP address gets their own virtual filesystem. To the
network program this is transparent and the program will behave like
nothing happened. Virtuald in conjunction with a program like inetd
can then be used to virtualize any service.
3.2. inetd
Inetd is a network super server that listens at multiple ports and
when it receives a connection (for example, an incoming pop request),
inetd performs the network negotiation and hands the network
connection off to the specified program. This prevents servers from
running idly when they are not needed.
A standard /etc/inetd.conf file looks like this:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd wu.ftpd -l -a
pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.qpop -s
A virtual /etc/inetd.conf file looks like this:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/virtuald virtuald /virtual/conf.ftp wu.ftpd -l -a
pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/virtuald virtuald /virtual/conf.pop in.qpop -s
3.3. virtual.conf
Each service gets a conf file that will control what IPs and
directories are allowed for that service. You can have one master
conf file or several conf files if you want each service to get a
different list of domains. A virtual.conf file looks like this:
# This is a comment and so are blank lines
# Format IP <SPACE> dir <NOSPACES>
10.10.10.129 /virtual/foo.bar.com
10.10.10.130 /virtual/bar.foo.com
10.10.10.157 /virtual/boo.la.com

4. Virt scripts
4.1. virtfs
Each domain should get their own directory structure. Since you are
using chroot you will require duplicate copies of the shared
libraries, binaries, conf files, etc. I use /virtual/domain.com for
each domain that I create. I realize that you are taking up more disk
space but it is cheaper than a whole new machine and network cards.
If you really want to preserve space you can link the files together
so only one copy of each binary exists.
Here is a sample virtfs script:
#!/bin/bash
echo '$Revision: 1.21 $'
echo -n "Enter the domain name: "
read domain
if [ "$domain" = "" ]
then
echo Nothing entered: aborting
exit 0
fi
leadingdir=/virtual
echo -n "Enter leading dir: (Enter for default: $leadingdir): "
read ans
if [ "$ans" != "" ]
then
leadingdir=$ans
fi
newdir=$leadingdir/$domain
if [ -d "$newdir" ]
then
echo New directory: $newdir: ALREADY exists
exit 0
else
echo New directory: $newdir
fi
echo Create $newdir
mkdir -p $newdir
echo Create bin
cp -pdR /bin $newdir
echo Create dev
cp -pdR /dev $newdir
echo Create dev/log
ln -f /virtual/log $newdir/dev/log
echo Create etc
mkdir -p $newdir/etc
for i in /etc/*
do
if [ -d "$i" ]
then
continue
fi
cp -pd $i $newdir/etc
done
echo Create etc/skel
mkdir -p $newdir/etc/skel
echo Create home
for i in a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
do
mkdir -p $newdir/home/$i
done
echo Create home/c/crc
mkdir -p $newdir/home/c/crc
chown crc.users $newdir/home/c/crc
echo Create lib
mkdir -p $newdir/lib
for i in /lib/*
do
if [ -d "$i" ]
then
continue
fi
cp -pd $i $newdir/lib
done
echo Create proc
mkdir -p $newdir/proc
echo Create sbin
cp -pdR /sbin $newdir
echo Create tmp
mkdir -p -m 0777 $newdir/tmp
chmod +t $newdir/tmp
echo Create usr
mkdir -p $newdir/usr
echo Create usr/bin
cp -pdR /usr/bin $newdir/usr
echo Create usr/lib
mkdir -p $newdir/usr/lib
echo Create usr/lib/locale
cp -pdR /usr/lib/locale $newdir/usr/lib
echo Create usr/lib/terminfo
cp -pdR /usr/lib/terminfo $newdir/usr/lib
echo Create usr/lib/zoneinfo
cp -pdR /usr/lib/zoneinfo $newdir/usr/lib
echo Create usr/lib/\*.so\*
cp -pdR /usr/lib/*.so* $newdir/usr/lib
echo Create usr/sbin
cp -pdR /usr/sbin $newdir/usr
echo Linking usr/tmp
ln -s /tmp $newdir/usr/tmp
echo Create var
mkdir -p $newdir/var
echo Create var/lock
cp -pdR /var/lock $newdir/var
echo Create var/log
mkdir -p $newdir/var/log
echo Create var/log/wtmp
cp /dev/null $newdir/var/log/wtmp
echo Create var/run
cp -pdR /var/run $newdir/var
echo Create var/run/utmp
cp /dev/null $newdir/var/run/utmp
echo Create var/spool
cp -pdR /var/spool $newdir/var
echo Linking var/tmp
ln -s /tmp $newdir/var/tmp
echo Create var/www/html
mkdir -p $newdir/var/www/html
chown webmast.www $newdir/var/www/html
chmod g+s $newdir/var/www/html
echo Create var/www/master
mkdir -p $newdir/var/www/master
chown webmast.www $newdir/var/www/master
echo Create var/www/server
mkdir -p $newdir/var/www/server
chown webmast.www $newdir/var/www/server
exit 0
4.2. virtexec
To execute commands in a virtual environment you have to
chroot to that directory and then run the command. I have written a
special shell script called virtexec that handles this for any
command:
#!/bin/sh
echo '$Revision: 1.21 $'
BNAME=`basename $0`
FIRST4CHAR=`echo $BNAME | cut -c1-4`
REALBNAME=`echo $BNAME | cut -c5-`
if [ "$BNAME" = "virtexec" ]
then
echo Cannot run virtexec directly: NEED a symlink
exit 0
fi
if [ "$FIRST4CHAR" != "virt" ]
then
echo Symlink not a virt function
exit 0
fi
list=""
num=1
for i in /virtual/*
do
if [ ! -d "$i" ]
then
continue
fi
if [ "$i" = "/virtual/lost+found" ]
then
continue
fi
list="$list $i $num"
num=`expr $num + 1`
done
if [ "$list" = "" ]
then
echo No virtual environments exist
exit 0
fi
dialog --clear --title 'Virtexec' --menu Pick 20 70 12 $list 2> /tmp/menu.$$
if [ "$?" = "0" ]
then
newdir=`cat /tmp/menu.$$`
else
newdir=""
fi
tput clear
rm -f /tmp/menu.$$
echo '$Revision: 1.21 $'
if [ ! -d "$newdir" ]
then
echo New directory: $newdir: NOT EXIST
exit 0
else
echo New directory: $newdir
fi
echo bname: $BNAME
echo realbname: $REALBNAME
if [ "$*" = "" ]
then
echo args: none
else
echo args: $*
fi
echo Changing to $newdir
cd $newdir
echo Running program $REALBNAME
chroot $newdir $REALBNAME $*
exit 0
Please note that you must have the dialog program installed on your
system for this to work. To use virtexec just symlink a program to
it. For example,
ln -s /usr/bin/virtexec /usr/bin/virtpasswd
ln -s /usr/bin/virtexec /usr/bin/virtvi
ln -s /usr/bin/virtexec /usr/bin/virtpico
ln -s /usr/bin/virtexec /usr/bin/virtemacs
ln -s /usr/bin/virtexec /usr/bin/virtmailq
Then if you type virtvi or virtpasswd or virtmailq it will allow you
to vi a program, change a user's password or check the mail queue on
your virtual system. You can create as many virtexec symlinks as you
want. However, note that if your program requires a shared library it
has to be in the virtual filesystem. The binary has to exist on the
virtual filesystem also.
4.3. Notes on virtfs and virtexec
I install all the scripts in /usr/bin. Anything that I do not want to
put on the virtual filesystem I put in /usr/local. The script does
not touch anything in there for copying. Any files that are important
to not cross virtual filesystems should be removed. For example, ssh
is installed on my system and I did not want the private key for the
server available on all the virtual filesystems so I remove it from
each virtual filesystem after I run virtfs. I also change resolv.conf
and remove anything that has the name of another domain on it for
legal reasons. For example, /etc/hosts and /etc/HOSTNAME.
The programs that I symlink to virtexec are:
╖ virtpasswd -- change a user password
╖ virtadduser -- create a user
╖ virtdeluser -- delete a user
╖ virtsmbstatus -- see samba status
╖ virtvi -- edit a file
╖ virtmailq -- check out the mailq
╖ virtnewaliases -- rebuild alias tables
5. DNS
You can configure DNS normally. The beauty of this system is that all
services will behave normally like they are on separate machines.
There is a HOWTO on DNS.
6. Syslog
6.1. Problem
Syslog is the system logging utility commonly used on UNIX systems.
Syslog is a daemon that opens a special file called a FIFO. A FIFO is
a special file that is like a pipe. Anything that is written to the
write side will come out the read side. The syslog daemon waits for
data from the read side. There are C functions that write to the
write side. If you write your program with these C functions your
output will go to syslog. Remember that we have used a
chroot environment and the FIFO /dev/log is not in the virtual
environment. That means all the virtual environments will not log to
syslog. We cannot simply copy the file since the programs use
/dev/log instead of the new one we would create.
Beware that certain versions of syslog use a udp socket instead of the
FIFO. However, this is usually not the case.
6.2. Solution
Syslog can look to a different FIFO if you tell it on the command line
so run syslog with the argument:
syslog -p /virtual/log
Then link /dev/log to /virtual/log by (Note it is a SYMLINK):
ln -sf /virtual/log /dev/log
Then link all the /dev/log copies to this file by running (Note it is
a hard link and NOT a symlink):
ln /virtual/log /virtual/domain.com/dev/log
The virtfs script above already does this. Since /virtual is one
contiguous disk and the /dev/log's are linked they have the same inode
number and point to the same data. The chroot cannot stop this so
all your virtual /dev/log's will now function. Note that all the
messages from all the environments will be logged in one place.
However, you can write separate programs to filter out the data. If
you do not want to write a program and require separate log files you
can use a separate syslog for each virtual filesystem by running:
syslog -p /virtual/domain1.com/dev/log
syslog -p /virtual/domain2.com/dev/log
However that wastes process id's so I do not recommend it. This
version of the syslog.init file relinks the /dev/log's each time you
start it in case they have been improperly set up. Here is a modified
syslog.init file:
#!/bin/sh
# Source function library.
\&. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting dev log: "
ln -sf /virtual/log /dev/log
echo done
echo -n "Starting system loggers: "
daemon syslogd -p /virtual/log
daemon klogd
echo
echo -n "Starting virtual dev log: "
for i in /virtual/*
do
if [ ! -d "$i" ]
then
continue
fi
if [ "$i" = "/virtual/lost+found" ]
then
continue
fi
ln -f /virtual/log $i/dev/log
echo -n "."
done
echo " done"
touch /var/lock/subsys/syslog
;;
stop)
echo -n "Shutting down system loggers: "
killproc syslogd
killproc klogd
echo
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/syslog
;;
*)
echo "Usage: syslog {start|stop}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0
Note that you do not have to put all the virtual filesystems on one
disk. However, you will have to run a different syslog for each
partition that has virtual filesystems on it.
7. Virtual FTP
Wu-ftpd comes with built in support to make it virtual. However, you
cannot maintain separate password files for each domain. For example,
if
bob@domain1.com and bob@domain2.com both want an account you would
have to make one of them bob2 or have one of the users choose a
different user name. Since you now have a virtual filesystem for each
domain you have separate password files and this problem goes away.
Just create a virtnewuser script and virtpasswd script in the way
mentioned above and you are all set. You can also have anonymous ftp
in each virtual environment as that would be unaffected by the virtual
filesystem as well.
The inetd.conf entries for wu-ftp:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/virtuald virtuald /virtual/conf.ftp wu.ftpd -l -a
8. Virtual Web
Apache has their own support for virtual domains. This is the only
program I recommend using the internal virtual domain mechanism.
When you run something through inetd there is a cost. The program now
has to start up each time you run it. That means slower response
times which is unacceptable for web service. Apache also has a
mechanism for stopping connections when too many come in.
However, if you did want to run Apache through inetd then add the
following line to your inetd.conf file:
www stream tcp nowait www /usr/bin/virtuald virtuald /virtual/conf.www httpd -f /var/www/conf/httpd.conf
In the /var/www/conf/httpd.conf file you have to specify:
ServerType inetd
Then configure each instance of the Apache server like you would
normally for single domain use.
At the time of this writing there is no virtual web HOWTO. However, I
am under the impression one is coming. Eventually I will just refer
to that HOWTO and have some notes on it. If it does not come soon and
I get enough requests I will write a small section on how to configure
the Apache virthost directive.
9. Virtual Mail/Pop
9.1. Qmail Notice
This section applies to sendmail only. A section for qmail will be
added in the next version of this HOWTO document.
9.2. Problem
Virtual mail support is in ever increasing demand. Sendmail says it
supports virtual mail. What it does support is listening for incoming
mail from different domains. You can then specify to have the mail
forwarded somewhere. However, if you forward it to the local machine
and have incoming mail to bob@domain1.com and bob@domain2.com they
will go to the same mail folder. This is a problem since both bob's
are different people with different mail.
9.3. Bad Solution
You can make sure that each user name is unique by using a numbering
scheme: bob1, bob2, etc or prepending a few characters to each
username dom1bob, dom2bob, etc. You could also hack mail and pop to
do these conversions behind the scenes but that can get messy.
Outgoing mail also has the banner maindomain.com and you want each
subdomain's outgoing mail banner to be different.
9.4. Good Solution
Each virtual filesystem gives a domain its own /etc/passwd. This
means that bob@domain1.com and bob@domain2.com are different users in
different /etc/passwds so mail will be no problem. They also have
their own spool directories so the mail folders will be different
files on different virtual filesystems.
However, sendmail requires one minor source code modification.
Sendmail has a file called /etc/sendmail.cw and it contains all
machine names that sendmail will deliver mail to locally rather than
forwarding to another machine. Sendmail does internal checking of all
the devices on the machine to initialize this list with the local IPs.
This presents a problem if you are mailing between virtual domains on
the same machine. Sendmail will be fooled into thinking another
virtual domain is a local address and spool the mail locally. For
example, bob@domain1.com sends mail to fred@domain2.com. Since
domain1.com's sendmail thinks domain2.com is local, it will spool the
mail on domain1.com and never send it to domain2.com. You have to
modify sendmail (I did this on v8.8.5 without a problem):
vi v8.8.5/src/main.c # Approximately Line 494
It should say:
load_if_names();
Replace it with:
/* load_if_names(); Commented out since hurts virtual */
Note only do this if you need to send mail between virtual domains
which I think is probable.
This will fix the problem. However, the main ethernet device eth0 is
not removed. Therefore, if you send mail from a virtual IP to the one
on eth0 on the same box it will delivery locally. Therefore, I just
use this as a dummy IP virtual1.domain.com (10.10.10.157). I never
send mail to this host so neither will the virtual domains. This is
also the IP I would use to ssh into the box to check if the system is
ok.
Edit /etc/sendmail.cw with the local hostnames.
vi /etc/sendmail.cw
mail.domain1.com
domain1.com
domain1
localhost
Create /etc/sendmail.cf like you would normally through m4. I used:
divert(0)dnl
VERSIONID(`@(#)tcpproto.mc 8.5 (Berkeley) 3/23/96')
OSTYPE(linux)
FEATURE(redirect)
FEATURE(always_add_domain)
FEATURE(use_cw_file)
FEATURE(local_procmail)
MAILER(local)
MAILER(smtp)
Edit /etc/sendmail.cf to respond as your virtual domain:
vi /etc/sendmail.cf # Approximately Line 86
It should say:
#Dj$w.Foo.COM
Replace it with:
Djdomain1.com
Sendmail cannot be started stand alone anymore so you have to run it
through inetd. This is inefficient and will result in lower start up
time but if you had such a high hit site you would not share it on a
virtual box with other domains. Note that you are NOT running with
the -bd flag. Also note that you need a sendmail -q running for
each domain to queue up undelivered mail. The new sendmail.init file:
#!/bin/sh
# Source function library.
\&. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting sendmail: "
daemon sendmail -q1h
echo
echo -n "Starting virtual sendmail: "
for i in /virtual/*
do
if [ ! -d "$i" ]
then
continue
fi
if [ "$i" = "/virtual/lost+found" ]
then
continue
fi
chroot $i sendmail -q1h
echo -n "."
done
echo " done"
touch /var/lock/subsys/sendmail
;;
stop)
echo -n "Stopping sendmail: "
killproc sendmail
echo
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/sendmail
;;
*)
echo "Usage: sendmail {start|stop}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0
Pop should install normally with no extra effort. It will just need
the inetd entry for it with the virtuald part added. The inetd.conf
entries for sendmail and pop:
pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/virtuald virtuald /virtual/conf.pop in.qpop -s
smtp stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/virtuald virtuald /virtual/conf.mail sendmail -bs
10. Virtual other
Any other service should be a similar procedure.
╖ Add the binary and the libraries to the virtual filesystem.
╖ Add it to /etc/inetd.conf.
╖ Create a /virtual/conf.service file.
╖ Create any virtual scripts that need to be made.
I have experimented with both the samba package and have written a
virtual poppassd through Eudora. Both work without any problems. If
there is enough interest, I will add a section on installing virtual
