[Users] Some queries

[Surbhi Chitre]

Hello All,

I am a OpenVZ newbie (but no such a newbie :) )
I have been working on integrating OpenVZ to XtreemOS (http://xtreemos/)
And I have had a lot of issues while doing so. Here are a few of the most
pressing ones:

1) I wanted to know, why a normal user should not be able to execute
processes in the container ? Am I doing something wrong ? Or is OpenVZ
designed to allow only "root user" to call "vzctl exec" ? What is the
principle behind
this working (if so) ? or is there any way a non root user can execute
programs in
the container (without using ssh) ?

2) I wonder why a normal user should not be able to create
a container and be able to execute in it ? (like a user can create files ?
)

3) I have added code in the proc_fork_connector() to receive
the container id in which a fork is executed. I can see these messages
in the dmesg, however my user space connector code cannot see any
information related to the process within a container. I can however
see the information for all the other processes which do not belong
to the container. I wonder why this is happening so.

Can anyone kindly give any pointers ?

Warm Regards,
Surbhi.
