Hi All,

Just only I have enter into small trap,
And I want to warn other Vserver users that work on OS X.

Steps.

1) I have become root in the terminal doing
        
        sudo su -

2) server is stoped.

3) there is no masterdb. (trashed)

4) I run Vserver in the terminal while I am root.

5) it create masterdb.

6) I stop server, and I want to open masterdb in the VAPP.
    and ops it fails.

At last of end I have found, that masterdb was created
    with owner "system" (because server was started under root)

Therefore me, as normal user have only read access to it.
