Thanks Serge, so I agree with you that's not LXC's fault. Though, with
such a limited PATH, lxc-attach is much less convenient to work with, IMHO.

I'm coming from OpenVZ where I used "vzctl enter/exec" frequently and
now I'm trying to find an equivalent command for LXC so it's quite
possible I'm looking at the wrong tool. In which case, a hint would be
appreciated ;)

If lxc-attach is the right tool for the job, would you mind, when you
have time, moving the bug to the appropriate package as I can't find
which one it should be.

Regards,
Simon

Title:
  lxc-attach --clear-env results in a limited $PATH in the container

Status in “lxc” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Here is the problem in more details:

   # Clearing the env
   $ printf 'echo $PATH\n' | sudo lxc-attach --clear-env -n p1
   /bin:/usr/bin

   # Keeping the env
   $ printf 'echo $PATH\n' | sudo lxc-attach --keep-env -n p1
   /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

  While keeping the env seems like a good workaround it cause other
  undesirable effects like preserving $HOME that doesn't (always) exist
  in the container.

  Additional information:

  $ apt-cache policy lxc
  lxc:
    Installed: 1.0.6-0ubuntu0.1
    Candidate: 1.0.6-0ubuntu0.1
