So of course things like "keepdir" are a no-op on /run tmpfs - the scripts *need* to check-and-create the directories when they are called. Sigh.

I think it is the same bug:
 vserver mailserver start
fakerunlevel: open("/var/run/utmp"): No such file or directory


Failed to start vserver 'mailserver'


/var/run/utmp is moved to /run/utmp so please fix the vserver.

this is fixed in util-vserver-0.30.216_pre3038, sorry for the delay ...

/var/run should be a symlink to /run
