I am new to OpenVZ and must confess that I am one of those admins that
really do not know anything on text based administration but do always
use GUI-based version of YaST2... So I have a bit a problem with the
OpenSuSE template cache that can be downloaded from the OpenVZ web site.

Actually it was pretty easy to set up OpenVZ and create and run a VPS
using the prebuilt OpenSuSE tarball found on the OpenVZ web site. I can
use the vzctl enter 101 backdoor to have TTL access, do ps -A and such
things.

Now I want to use "real" administrative access to set up the services I
like to run. But in fact it seems the OpenSuSE template has switched off
nearly everything. ssh, telnet, rlogin... everything I can imagine
fails (ok, ping works...).

So I tried to use text mode yast2 within the backdoor, but while this
truely starts yast (can see it in ps), still nothing gets shown on the
screen (seems the backdoor is unable to handle its ncurses based GUI).

Okay, I give up now.
Can anybody tell me how to get an administrative access to that OpenSuSE
VPS...?
I'm quite desperate...

Thanks in advance!
Markus
