My tactical work around was to inject the route add into /etc/rc.d/rc.local in the rootfs template for my LXC containers, so when I create each container rc.local is staged, did the same with /etc/resolv.conf as well.

I used lxc-setcap to set capabilities and started the container as a non-root user. lxc-execute -n alpha -f a.conf -- /bin/start.sh in start.sh :- #!/bin/sh route add default gw 169.254.100.1 exec sh I get the following error :- route: SIOCADDRT: Operation not permitted Tried adding cap_net_admin to lxc-init, making 'route' a suid program etc but did not help. The networking config is as follows:- lxc.network.type = veth lxc.network.flags = up lxc.network.link = br0 lxc.network.name = eth1 lxc.network.ipv4 = 169.254.100.6/24 Any pointers ?
