I see. The important point is that its a private pool.

The Centos template has set lxc.autodev = 0. I haven't seen this
in the generated config files for Debian. Is autodev=0 still the
default, as lxc.container.conf(5) seems to indicate?

Nothing unusual. The log files show a lot of ssh sessions run by
our monitoring software (active just for a few milliseconds), plus
my own ssh sessions for maintenance. Thats all.

After the 2 incidents I moved the centos containers to another server.
I couldn't reproduce the problem on this host by now, but of course
it has a different load.
