Yes, so long as you use a private net_ns, it will be separated. If you don't use a private net_ns, then not only will it talk to the host's upstart, but, bc of current limitations on credentials passing, upstart won't be able to tell if the container doesn't have CAP_SYS_BOOT. -serge ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Lxc-devel mailing list Lxc-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lxc-devel
