I'm glad someone is working on getting Arch working under OpenVZ.

Works out of the box for me with OSTEMPLATE="arch" in my VZ configuration.

I do get the following errors on vzctl start :

cp: cannot stat '/etc/conf.d/netcfg': No such file or directory
grep: /etc/conf.d/netcfg.bak: No such file or directory
A unit file for profile 'venet0' already exists

But container starts and everything appears to work properly (including
network).

However, I notice the SSH keys are bundled with the template, which means
every containers deployed with that template get the same host SSH keys
(which is a BIG SECURITY ISSUE). Also you should wipe the /var/log/wtmp to
prevent reporting previous logins (ex. see `last` output) and perhaps other
log files and others as well.

Thanks

Simon
