Hi,
you can go around this problem via adding "pts/0" or "pts/1" and so on,
to the /etc/securetty file.
I wrote long ago a shell script to build such containers:
https://github.com/shibumi/mknspawn
The easier method is to just use containers from https://nspawn.org
https://nspawn.org builds containers with pts set in the /etc/securetty
file:
https://nspawn.org/images/
There is even a wrapper for it: https://github.com/nspawn/nspawn
Best regards,
shibumi
