Subject: [gentoo-dev] should /etc/init.d/sysctl be run in lxc guests?

1 This is a question to lxc users, since I don't run it.
2
3 I have a bug against OpenRC in which the user is saying that I should
4 allow /etc/init.d/sysctl to run inside an lxc container [1].
5
6 My understanding is that this is not a good idea since an lxc container
7 actually changes settings in the host's kernel.
8
9 The user's position seems to be that it should be up to the lxc
10 template or the sys admin to make sure they configure things correctly.
11
12 Does anyone have any thoughts? Is this something I should allow people
13 to shoot themselves in the foot with if they do something wrong?

15 Thanks,
