It's working fine here with all my Fedora containers of various vintage
(all Fedora hosts).

1) What is the host distro and version?

2) What is the container version?

3) If the host is Ubuntu or Debian, are you running with apparmor
enabled and have you set lxc.aa_profile = unconfined in the container
config?

4) How did you create the container (lxc-create, hand rolled, fedora
template, download template)?

5) Version of LXC in the host?

6) How are you logged in?  From lxc-start in forground?  From
lxc-console?  From ssh connection?
