Hello list, I have noticed a difference in behaviour on a new host that I have just installed which uses LXC 0.9.0. The differences are noted when compared with another host that has LXC 0.9.0-alpha3 on it.
Inside a container under LXC 0.9.0, the devpts mounts are like this: devpts on /dev/console type devpts (rw,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000) devpts on /dev/tty1 type devpts (rw,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,mode=600,ptmxmode=666) Previously, under LXC 0.9.0-alpha3, they were like this: devpts on /dev/console type devpts (rw,relatime,mode=600,ptmxmode=000) devpts on /dev/tty1 type devpts (rw,relatime,mode=600,ptmxmode=000) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,mode=600,ptmxmode=666) The upshot of this is that regular users can't create pty unless they are in the "tty" group (gid 5). This means the simple task of opening a terminal window will fail for such users. Is this because of a change made some time between 0.9.0-alpha3 and 0.9.0 ? I have trawled the git commit messages but couldn't see anything. Google did throw the following for me: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=554203 http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-February/msg00975.html Those mention the permission change I've experienced but discuss LXC with LibVirt. I am not using LibVirt. My LXC config is the same in both examples, and I am not doing anything differently between the two. They are both running ArchLinux and have kernel versions as follows System 1: LXC 0.9.0-alpha3 Linux 3.7.10-1-ARCH System 2: LXC 0.9.0 Linux 3.11.1-1-ARCH Is the rule now that users have to be in group 'tty' in a container or am I missing something else? Thanks in advance.
