Hi,
I have read your FAQ http://http://wiki.openvz.org/Use_cases
It is said that OpenVZ can be used for educational purpose, letting each student to have access to the root-user in each container. But to enter a container, you have to be root in the physical-host, so is there a way to let the student connect to the Container without being root in the host computer?
I know this can seems odd, but in my school, there is no way to have root-access, so I have thought that working in a container could be a great idea to have root-access without being able to damage the physical host.
Thanks for your answers!

I suppose that that statement means an access directly to the container not through the HN, for example via ssh. Is it possible ro realize?

Hi,
Yes, you have right, I think it is possible.
The containers created by the HN can be acceded in the virtual network by port forwarding for example. So a ssh connection can have an access to the containers.
Thanks for your answer!
