[Bug 918327] [NEW] lxc-start exits success on failure when non-root

[Scott Moser]

Public bug reported:

$ sudo lxc-create -t ubuntu -n lv1
$ lxc-start -n lv1 -d
$ echo $?
0
$ lxc-ls
lv1
$ lxc-list
RUNNING

STOPPED
  lv1


I would have expected an error message when trying to start a container that I did not have acl to start.
instead, lxc-start exited success (0) and gave no output.
