This probably should be done in lxc.conf rather than default.conf as default.conf is copied to all newly created containers. However for this to work with lxc.conf someone would first have to change its parser to use something more similar to lxc's main config parser (the lxc.conf parser is currently quite simple and has an hardcoded list of supported options). -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com
