I note that lxc-start and lxc-console still differ in that lxc-start leaves the 
host console in "cooked" mode, which makes using an interactive shell a bit 
clumsy.

~ # ls -l
ls -l
total 756
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        768272 Jan  6 12:20 mount.cifs
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root          1024 Jan  6 12:16 samba2
~ # 

Note how it echoed "ls -l" back at me.  Command history is inaccessible, 
entering passwords is a bit embarassing, etc.

lxc-console puts the console into raw mode, and behaves as expected.

I'm aware that /dev/console doesn't provide a controlling tty, but there should 
probably still be at least a command line option to put the host console into 
raw mode.  If the intended use of lxc-start is something like:

  lxc-start 2>&1 | tee walrus.log &

Then fiddling with the console attributes by default would be a bad idea, yes.
