Hello,

we recently discovered that a container was able to modify the hardware clock 
of a server.

When checking the lxc configuration I found out that rwm access to /dev/rtc was 
granted.

Unfortunately most lxc templates allow write access per default.

This was already discussed a few years ago:
http://www.mail-archive.com/lxc-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00718.html

I would recommend to modify access to /dev/rtc in the templates.
Or are there any caveats to do so?

Christoph
