Error reported from within the containers: passwd: System error passwd: Authentication token manipulation error Error reported at the host: passwd: PAM audit_log_acct_message() failed: Operation not permitted Next tried with: chroot /container/path/rootfs passwd but that produced the same error. Next tried with: lxc.cap.keep = CAP_AUDIT_WRITE but the container would not boot. Next tried with: lxc.apparmor.profile = unconfined but no remedy. Next switched the kernel to 4.19.7 but no dice either.
