Hello In order to minimize security risks, I'm running my ubuntu containers with a patched version of cron that allows it to run as an unprivileged user. This, of course, only works if all the jobs are run by the same user, but since my containers are single-user only it's no issue.
Incidentally, the Debian bug tracker has a 13 year-old (!) feature request including a patch that adds this behavior as a command line option. Since this can be really useful for people using LXC, I'm sending this message mostly as a heads-up, and maybe if enough people get show their support for the patch, it can make it into the official Debian package.
