by <command>lxc</command>, but if you wish to handle
this name yourself, you can tell <command>lxc</command>
to set a specific name with
- the <option>lxc.network.veth.pair</option> option.
+ the <option>lxc.network.veth.pair</option> option (except for
+ unprivileged containers where this option is ignored for security
