Re-nack for all of the same reasons. AKA This can only break the users of the user namespace. Nacked-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> You aren't fixing what your problem you are papering over it by denying access to the user namespace. Nack Nack Nack. Stop. Go back to the drawing board.
