Tack a struct pid > to the parent namespaces' pid=1 making it pid=1 for the child namespace? I was thinking whoever called spawn container would be pid 1. But I agree that is only a partial solution. It definitely makes sense to worry about this question later when all of the rest of the details for system containers are sorted out. Eric
