I've tried your demo program, but inside the new ns I'm automatically nobody.
As Eric said, setuid(0)/setgid(0) are missing.

Eric, maybe you can help me. How can I drop capabilities within a user
namespace?
In childFunc() I did add prctl(PR_CAPBSET_DROP, CAP_NET_ADMIN) but it always
returns ENOPERM.
What that? I thought I get a completely fresh set of cap which I can modify.
I don't want that uid 0 inside the container has all caps.

And why does /proc/*/loginuid always contain 4294967295 in a new user namespace?
Writing to it also fails. (Noticed that because pam_loginuid.so does not work).

Final question, is it by design that uid 0 within a namespace in not
allowed to write to
/proc/*/oom_score_adj?


Thanks,
//richard

P.s: I've used 3.9-rc8 for my tests...
