[Lxc-users] need sudo to see running containers with lxc-list?

any info on why this would be? not that this is too horrible to deal 
with, but it is confusing to have lxc-list return empty results instead 
of an informative message that "you may not see everything" or "need 
more permissions". maybe i'm doing something wrong? i created these as 
standard (sudo lxc-create -t xxxxx -n xxxxx). note that the stopped 
containers show up without root privs (weird).

$ lxc-list
RUNNING

STOPPED

$ sudo !!
sudo lxc-list
RUNNING
   debian
   local

STOPPED

$ sudo lxc-stop -n local
$ lxc-list
RUNNING

STOPPED
   debian
   local

thanks,

Nathan W
