So on the node level the lscpu output is fine, but if you try the same command in a CentOS* container, an error is thrown. Then there's a weird thing going on with a couple of the dual L5520s which, using Ubuntu templates, gives an lscpu output displays an incorrect core/thread total (would...

I've got a handful of leftover IP4's in my current Q.A. box. Not wanting them to go to waste, I kicked around the idea of spooling up a couple of containers and turning them into honeypots, and yesterday evening I configured Kippo. I liked the idea, you know, making them look like mail servers...
