Is this from the container or the host?

When I set the root shell in /etc/passwd of the container, then that works
for me most of the time. "Most of the time" since bigger shells seem to
sometimes run into a timeout and then I only get an error message and no
shell. Re-running machinectl shell helps when that happens.

Best Regards,
Tobias
