Subject: Re: Linux 3.14-rc8 (LXC broken)

*testing hat on*

PAM within namespaces (say, LXC) does not work anymore with 3.14-rc8,
making login, ssh etc fail in containers unless you boot with audit=0.

This is due to a change in return value to user space; and is
appearantly a known issue as evident in this earlier post from february:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2014-February/msg00087.html

Judging from the post it seems they want to ship 3.14 with this IMO
quite serious regression? What is the namespace/container folks take on
this?
