Sure.  By the way, the root account password is locked in Ubuntu by
default.  This means that you cannot login as root directly or use
the su command to become the root user.  So, we need to prepare some
default user account like "ubuntu" especially in Ubuntu by default,
right?

So, after moving the download template outside of the main LXC source
tree one day in the future, is there any way to create unprivileged
containers with the regular templates in the source tree?
