I don't know what is the wanted level of functionality, but tossing the code in CVS, it seems, IMHO, the Linux Container are far away to be complete.

Yep, saw them. Thanks. Effectively, there are more things. Nice trick with the tty. What is the targeted kernel version ?

At this time 2.6.25 or later should be usable.
