    $ mkdir /tmp/tt
    $ unshare -mUr mount --bind /var/run/nscd /tmp/tt && echo ok
    ok

This one looks more interesting:

    $ unshare -mUr mount --bind -o ro /var/run/nscd /tmp/tt && echo ok
    mount: /tmp/tt: filesystem was mounted, but any subsequent operation failed: Unknown error 5005.
    $ echo $?
    32

    $ mkdir /tmp/mine
    $ unshare -mUr mount --bind /tmp/mine /tmp/tt && echo ok
    ok
