I didn't know that your procedure was complete and debugged.  (After
all, you pointed to it last :-)

I copied yours to /usr/lib/lxc/templates/lxc-centos (your .in file
didn't seem to have any @KEYWORDS@ that needed expanding by configure),
and verified that it creates a startable centos 6 container.

There's no networking (beyond being able to ping localhost).
Uncommenting the example network section of
/var/lib/lxc/demo.centos6/config
led to the same failure as before,
lxc-start: failed to rename vethbEIwaC->eth0 : File exists

But then, the default templates on this machine don't seem to
have working networks, either.  I guess I have some experimenting
and learning to do.
