> Importance medium is a joke
You will always be able to access the container from the host. Of course, this 
won't work easily if you do not have access to the host.
However, OpenVZ is not supported by Ubuntu and this is just one of the reasons 
why you would be better using Debian for server machines.
I am increasing the importance, but that does not make it more likely to get 
addressed in upstart unfortunately.

** Changed in: upstart (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Medium => High

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: upstart
  
  /etc/init/ssh.conf uses "oom never", which causes the job failing to
  start in an OpenVZ container.
  
  Host:
   - kernel: 2.6.32-5-openvz-amd64 (Debian testing)
  Container:
  openssh-server: 1:5.3p1-3ubuntu4 (Lucid)
  Upstart: 0.6.5-7 (Lucid)
  
  This is a known problem (mentioned on
  http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9170868&postcount=2).
  
  What information is required to debug this? Some strace output?
  
  WORKAROUND:
   - comment the "oom never" line
+ 
+ POSSIBLE FIXES:
+ 1. Ignore any errors when trying to set "oom never" for the job?!
+ 2. Only apply "oom never" if not in a virtualized context (see comment #2).
