[lxc-users] Access to /dev/kvm under an lxc container?

Hi Mark,

you need access to /dev/kvm on the host with the uid of the user
in the lxc container.

The easiest way is, to give all users access to /dev/kvm on the
host, e.g.:

   chmod a+rw /dev/kvm

After this, the bind-mount will allow access to the special
character device, too.

How secure this is, it's another question...

Best regards

Dirk
