As documented in the server guide (https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/lxc.html), lxc-setcap is not recommended.
Unprivileged use of lxc will hopefully be a feature in 14.04, after user namespaces are fully functional.
In the mean time, creation, starting, and stopping of containers in general should be done as root.
