Hi all,

A slightly off-topic and late reply,

Just wanted to mention that we ended mostly using a slightly different
tool:

Eventually it turned out that most tasks we needed were actually to
provide build environments for developers. For those schroot turned out
to be a simpler solution: we don't actually need to run any listening
socket and such, so having a separate IP address and network interface
per instance is only an administrative pain for this task.

LXC did prove useful for a number of "service" containers we have. Those
work just fine now.


Another minor nit: I needed to set up a separate centos6 chroot. with a
quick and lazy search I only found rinse. A bit of munging (copying from
the template of slc-6, and editing the package list to contain
centos-release) and I was done.

Anyway, thanks for the help.
