[Lxc-users] Setting yama/ptrace_scope to 0 inside container?

I'd like to strace a stray process, but in Ubuntu 12.04, to do that
you have to do

echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope

This fails inside an LXC (ephemeral) container.

But since there's only one kernel, you can do that in the host, and
it will affect the containers as well.

At least for now.  There's some talk of changing that

Is there an LXC FAQ somewhere for tidbits like this?
