Accounting is done in cgroups. Not as flexible as in openvz, but it
works.
As of `vzctl enter', there's something very similar, but it requires
to have getty (or similar) running on ttyN in guest. Probably not
what you want.

It doesn't, indeed. Both has their own bad and good sides. The
main "good" about lxc is that it's in the standard kernel, and
kernel components are ready (maybe modulo some features like
freezing/migration). Openvz, linux-vserver, other things - all
require quite intrusive patches, which complicating support tasks
alot.
