Hi, (I posted this on libvirt-users but its more a development question) src/lxc/lxc_container.c:lxcContainerPopulateDevices() has this table of devices that are automatically created when an lxc container is started. const struct { int maj; int min; mode_t mode; const char *path; } devs[] = { { LXC_DEV_MAJ_MEMORY, LXC_DEV_MIN_NULL, 0666, "/dev/null" }, { LXC_DEV_MAJ_MEMORY, LXC_DEV_MIN_ZERO, 0666, "/dev/zero" }, { LXC_DEV_MAJ_MEMORY, LXC_DEV_MIN_FULL, 0666, "/dev/full" }, { LXC_DEV_MAJ_MEMORY, LXC_DEV_MIN_RANDOM, 0666, "/dev/random" }, { LXC_DEV_MAJ_MEMORY, LXC_DEV_MIN_URANDOM, 0666, "/dev/urandom" }, }; Can we add '/dev/tty' to this list ? We were trying to run 'smbpasswd -a user' inside a container without /dev/tty and the fopen("/dev/tty", "w+") in smbpasswd made /dev/tty a regular file, breaking man(1), less(1), and ofcourse smbpasswd :-) Sure we can add /dev/tty to container's rc.local or something, but wouldn't it be in the same category as say, /dev/null or /dev/zero ?
