Well, a description on which distro/version you're running as host and
container would be nice.

Short version is if you use Ubuntu (preferably quantal/raring for newer lxc
version, but precise is also fine), then it will just work. If you use some
other combination (e.g. Centos for container), then be prepared for hickups.

I had problems with Centos container, and the "fix" was to force-clean
/var/run and /var/lock/subsys on container startup:
