Nope. You can use cryptsetup.

It would be nice if nsenter(1) would allow us to specify a uid/gid
which is switched to
if a user namespace is entered. Otherwise we become nobody:nogroup
after entering the
user namespace.

I.e. ./nsenter -t  -U --setuid=0 --setgid=0

Would you accept such a patch? :)
