I'm still confused. Does the unshare program do something wrong here ?
Anyways, I doubt that user namespaces help solving my problem.
What I'd like to achieve is that processes can manipulate their private namespace at will and mount other filesystems (primarily 9p and fuse).
For that, I need to get rid of setuid (and per-file caps) for these private namespaces.
