Modifying openVZ templates

To modify openVZ template, following steps can be used:

Create a container with base or default template
Start the container
Make necessary modifications such as installing package, configure service to run on start-up, modify configuration files, create users, etc.
Stop the container
Go to container private folder at '/vz/private/<CTID>'
Create container template using
```
tar cjf <template-name>.tar.bz2 *
```
Move container template to /vz/private/cache folder
Test new template by creating new container to verify that it is working properly
Optionally delete the container created for modifying template as it is no longer required
