Sory, my original email had an explanation, which I somehow cut from the final email:
The simple solution would be to use lxc-attach to call ifconfig in the container. lxc-attach does not work yet because some namespaces do not support it. However, /proc/self/ns/net exists. It can be used to switch to the container's network namespace, and then use ioctl(SIOCGIFADDR) on the result of socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP). See setns(2). -serge -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yellow Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yellow More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
