Yes.
i.e. uid 1000 in ns1 may own ns2, but uid 1000 in ns3 does not?
I am not certain of your example.
The simple case is:
init_user_ns:
child_user_ns1 (owned by uid == 0 [in all user namespaces])
child_user_ns2 (owned by uid == 0 [ in all user namespaces])
root (uid == 0) in child_user_ns2 has all rights over anything in
child_user_ns1.
Thank you for looking.
Eric
