[Users] IPv6 with OpenVZ; new Owl ISOs and templates

[Solar Designer]

Hi,

Simon, a user of and a contributor to Openwall GNU/*/Linux (Owl), wrote
the following how-to on setting up OpenVZ containers reachable over IPv6:

https://azuma.kaizo.org/simonb/openvz+ipv6.php

"This describes the following setup:
* You have 'a' machine, with a single public facing Internet address (IPv4)
* This machine has a public facing IPv6 address range, in this case a /64.
* You have IPv4 and IPv6 working on the machine already
* You run OpenVZ (or similar) VM's which have rfc1918 addresses
* You use NAT/IPTables to route traffic to those OpenVZ hosts
* You *wish* to allocate some Internet routable IPv6 addresses to the VM's"

More context to it (also on a hosting provider in the UK allowing you to
setup Owl/OpenVZ in a Linux KVM based VPS with IPv4 + IPv6 connectivity):

Meanwhile, we have fresh Owl ISOs (with the latest OpenVZ rhel5 kernels)
and precreated OpenVZ container templates:

lftp mirrors.kernel.org:/openwall/Owl/current> ls iso vztemplate | fgrep 0729
-rw-r--r--         455M  2010-07-29 02:53  Owl-current-20100729-i686.iso.gz
-rw-r--r--         460M  2010-07-29 03:37  Owl-current-20100729-x86_64.iso.gz
-rw-r--r--         110M  2010-07-29 05:06  owl-current-20100729-i686.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--         112M  2010-07-29 04:43  owl-current-20100729-x86_64.tar.gz

As usual, the ISOs are live + installable (and they will offer ext4
now), and the templates are full Owl installs (e.g. capable of
rebuilding Owl from source).  Any feedback is welcome.
