[Lxc-users] Unable to SSH to the containers.

[Kumar L Srikanth-B22348]

Hi,
I have created two containers cont1 and cont2, using 'lxc-sshd' command.
While creating containers, I gave cont1 ip address as '172.16.1.16' and
cont2 ipaddress as '172.16.1.17'.
Prior to creating containers, I followed the following link to create a
bridge 'br0' with the ipaddress '172.16.1.10' which is bridged to
'eth0'.
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-lxc-containers/
 
I am able to run both the containers. And also, I am able to see the
ipaddress which were assigned to the respective containers. After
sarting each container, I started 'sshd' service in the respective
containers.
 
In the cont1:
bash-4.0# ifconfig
Warning: cannot open /proc/net/dev (No such file or directory). Limited
output.

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 8A:56:BB:58:EF:9D
          inet addr:172.16.1.16  Bcast:0.0.0.0  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1

In the cont1:
bash-4.0# ifconfig
Warning: cannot open /proc/net/dev (No such file or directory). Limited
output.

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 22:D5:02:24:5E:FC
          inet addr:172.16.1.17  Bcast:0.0.0.0  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1

Here, the problem is that I am unable to SSH from one container to other
(cont1 to cont2 and viceversa). If I execute the command 'ssh
172.16.1.17' from the 'cont1', it is prompting for the password. I gave
the password as 'root'. 
But, it's exiting the command with the following error: 
 
sh-4.0# ssh 172.16.1.17
root at 172.16.1.17's <mailto:root at 172.16.1.17's>  password:
Read from remote host 172.16.1.17: Connection reset by peer
Connection to 172.16.1.17 closed.
 
Can you please let me know the problem and it's fix.
 
Regards,
Srikanth.
