Still not working:

$ sudo systemd-nspawn -M $MACHINE --private-users=1379532800:65536
  --private-network -network-macvlan=eth0 --boot

# Other console
$ sudo machinectl list
MACHINE  CLASS     SERVICE        OS     VERSION ADDRESSES
iofabric container systemd-nspawn centos 7       192.168.0.26...

1 machines listed.

$ sudo machinectl shell root at iofabric
[sudo] password for nikratio: 
Failed to get shell PTY: Cannot set property StandardInputFileDescriptor, or unknown property.

$ machinectl --version
systemd 232
+PAM +AUDIT +SELINUX +IMA +APPARMOR +SMACK +SYSVINIT +UTMP +LIBCRYPTSETUP +GCRYPT +GNUTLS +ACL +XZ +LZ4 +SECCOMP +BLKID +ELFUTILS +KMOD +IDN

Any idea?

Best,
