I think I figure out what's wrong. Short version is upstream template
(even the fedora one) needs modification. At least it does on Ubuntu
:)

Had you tried creating it manually, you'd have a working centos
container AND understand more deeply how it works.
In case you haven't figure it out already, I wrote that wiki page :)

Not sure how Johannes got his template working and what his
environment is, but I've written mine. See
https://github.com/fajarnugraha/lxc/blob/centos-template/templates/lxc-centos.in

Tested on Ubuntu 12.04 host to install centos guest container (centos
6 only for now). Based on lxc-fedora, it mostly automates the manual
process on my wiki page, plus rpmdb fix to allow it to work on
non-centos host.

If you're not familiar with github, "raw" button downloads that file
only, while "history" button shows changes to that file.
