OK, hopefully this mailing list is more active and I can get some response to my questions. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have been "playing with" Secure Containers running a lighttpd server and have it up and running. I used Adam's process (https://www.happyassassin.net/2014/07/23/bridged-networking-for-libvirt-with-networkmanager-2014-fedora-21/) for getting a bridge defined when also running NetworkManager. I then created a virtual network definition:
<network>
  <name>net18</name>
  <uuid>8d19a05b-ac85-4e2a-88bc-5ca4cbb29a33</uuid>
  <forward mode='bridge'/>
  <bridge name='br0'/>
</network>
This works fine when I use static addresses such as:
-N source=net18,address=192.168.18.94/24,route=192.168.18.255%192.168.18.1
but does not work when I specify using dhcp:
-N source=net18,dhcp
I have reported this as a bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1133686

Since there has not been much of a reaction to the BZ report, I decided to take a look at the source code (it sure would have been nice if the SRPMS were there in the F20 fedora-virt-preview but I get the package from development/21).

I see that libvirt-sandbox-init-common.c has the code for starting dhcp and also has main() along with some runtime options for -v verbose and -d debug.

OK, how do I go about turning verbose and/or debug on?

Any suggestions on how to debug and get dhcp to work? I not only want to find the problem but to fix the problem if needed.
While I have not figured out how to get dhcp to work with a secure container create by virt-sandbox-service, I have gotten a container working with the network up and a dhcp assigned IP using the lxc-* commands and following this procedure:
https://sysadmincasts.com/episodes/24-introduction-to-containers-on-linux-using-lxc
to create a "busybox" container.  The network came up automatically.

Following the procedure in this tutorial:
https://major.io/2014/04/21/launch-secure-lxc-containers-on-fedora-20-using-selinux-and-svirt/
I created and installed a test container. I had to add ifcfg-eth0 for a simple network and then run "service network start" for the netowrk to actually come up ... which it did with a DHCP (actually dnsmasq) assigned IP address. Note that this procedure explicitly installs the dhclient package.

So, what am I doing "wrong" with secure containers?  Or, is this a bug?
