Hi, I lxc-attached the container and stopped sshd and started sshd . Next step was to strace -p PID for sshd while opening a new ssh session from outside. As you can see no child processes started from sshd. se out put below from ps aux, strace -p. I also attched output from netstan -an inside the lxc during the attempted login connection
