[Samba] Does CTDB run under LXC containers?

[Peter Steele]

I'm using libvirt_lxc and that has an XML based configuration. Based on 
what I've read, I think I need to add this to the ctdb container's config:

<features>
   <capabilities policy='default'>
     <sys_nice state='on'/>
   </capabilities>
</features>

That didn't do the trick though. I need to figure out how to turn on all 
caps to see if that does the job.
