  Hello
  
  After running both "sudo lxc-setuid" and "sudo lxc-setcap", both lxc-
  info and lxc-stop still doesn't work. Here's an example:
  
  gleber at first:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ lxc-start-ephemeral -d -o ci1
  Setting up ephemeral container...
  Starting up the container...
  ci1-temp-RTqI6s8 is running
  You connect with the command:
  sudo lxc-console -n ci1-temp-RTqI6s8
  
  gleber at first:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ lxc-info -n ci1-temp-RTqI6s8
  lxc-info: failed to get state for 'ci1-temp-RTqI6s8': Permission denied
  gleber at first:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ lxc-stop -n ci1-temp-RTqI6s8
  lxc-stop: failed to stop 'ci1-temp-RTqI6s8': Permission denied
  
  I've tried extending "lxc-setuid" and "lxc-setcap" to add setuid and
  caps to lxc-stop and lxc-info, but failed to make it work.
  
  lxc version is (installed from Raring):
  
  gleber at first:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ sudo aptitude show lxc | grep Version
  Version: 0.8.0~rc1-4ubuntu48
  
  Ubuntu version is:
  
  gleber at first:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ lsb_release -a
  No LSB modules are available.

  Best,
