Package: util-linux
Version: 2.27.1-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/unshare
Dear Maintainer,
unshare -r, when executed as normal user (uid=1000) fails with 'operation not
permitted'
Test case:
$ unshare -r whoami
unshare: unshare failed: Operation not permitted
Compare with (fairly useless):
$ sudo unshare -r whoami
root
$ su -c 'unshare -r whoami'
root
.... This seems to rather defeat the point of having unshare -r.
This may be related to previously closed bug:
