A damned good reason. Clearly we want the parent namespace to be able to control what the child can do. So whatever interface a child gets, the parent should be able to somehow address. Simple iptables rules controlling traffic between it's own netdevice and the one it hands it's children seem a good option. > We have deeper issues like can we do a reasonable implementation without a > network device showing up in multiple namespaces.

Ok, and in the meantime we can all use the network part of the bsdjail lsm? :) -serge - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
