Well, unshare is able to create permanent namespaces and the bind
mounts and nsenter is able to follow these files, but you need root
permissions to create this stuff.
touch /home/kzak/ns
sudo unshare --uts=/home/kzak/ns
<exit namespace>
sudo nsenter --uts=/home/kzak/ns
it means you really do not need any process in the namespace.
Not sure about unprivileged users, it always sounds like a game with
Pandora's box ;-)
