As far as I know, libvirt always assumes that the guest is responsible for obtaining an IP address e.g. using DHCP (which makes perfect sense in the context of virtualisation technologies which emulate a PC). So at this time, I think you need to have a script which runs dhclient before running sshd. Another alternative is just to run a full Linux distribution inside LXC, and then the LXC guest's init will be responsible for bringing up the network. However, I haven't managed to do this (init just dies immediately when I've tried it, on Fedora 12). Regards, -- Robin Green
