Only root user can access /proc/user_beancounters

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Only the root user can access /proc/user_beancounters in later versions of 
OpenVZ.

The solution I took to fix this was a chmod 4755 script that an unprivileged 
user could use to output the contents of the file.

I used this program "beanc", but any scripting language could be used:

I'm not sure what the right solution is here for your distribution, but at the 
very least, the docs should have some info in it explaining the problem and 
possibly pointing to the link above for a solution, or offering your own.

I'll make a parameter that lets the user specify whether to use 'cat' or to 
execute
'beanc'.  Thanks for the report.

By the way, if you have an example of the OpenVZ graphs, it would be great to 
have
some to add to the wiki.

Sorry it took me so long to respond.  Thanks for fixing the ticket and we do 
have some 
graphs we could give you guys.  I'll try to attach them to this ticket sometime 
this 
week.
