[lxc-devel] set shmmax for container in lxc-execute

[J. Xiao]

I checked all the capabilities are up before opening shmmax file.
If I seteuid to 0, the open succeeds. There seems to be a difference 
between having a root euid and a regular user having root capabilities 
in terms of writing to shmmax file.
