Okay, installed the statically linked binary version of busybox, but
I am still getting the failure to change the root password:

    # lxc-create -t busybox -n test -l DEBUG -o /tmp/lxc.log
    setting root password to "root"
    Failed to change root password

Any ideas how to overcome/workaround that?

I am also still skeptical about whether or not the busybox template
suits my purposes.  I'll continue to test it, just to prove the concept
for myself of getting a daemonized container running in a 10MB disk.
But really, all I need is a handful of binaries for use inside the tiniest
rootfs possible.  Namely /bin/dd, /bin/cat, and perhaps /bin/bash as
well.

Thanks again, Serge.
