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.
