H folks, I would like to monitor my containers using lxc-info (lxc 1.1.2) run by an unprivileged user.

Looking at the access permissions lxc-info -c lxc.something should work. Surely I don't want to "control" the container.
Your user is unprivileged but your container is not. If you create your container with sudo lxc-create/sudo lxc-clone then you need ALWAYS sudo for lxc-info, lxc-clone, lxc-destroy, etc.
You only can work with unprivileged user AND unprivileged containers, more info you can see here [1], read "Basic unprivileged usage".
