[lxc-devel] [PATCH 1/8] templates: require running as root

[Serge Hallyn]

From: Serge Hallyn <serge.hallyn at ubuntu.com>

Up to now lxc-create ensured that you were running as root.  Now the
templates which require root need to do it for themselves.  Templates
which do mknod definately require root.
