Thanks. So, the issue is that the clone(2) system call is failing
with the EPERM error code, meaning the operation is not permitted.
This is odd because all users are allowed to call 'clone' with the
CLONE_NEWUSER flag to create a process in a new user namespace.
However, the clone(2) man page specifies a couple of cases in which
this can fail:
EPERM CLONE_NEWUSER was specified in flags, but either the effective
user ID or the effective group ID of the caller does not have a
mapping in the parent namespace (see user_namespaces(7)).
EPERM (since Linux 3.9)
CLONE_NEWUSER was specified in flags and the caller is in a
chroot environment (i.e., the caller's root directory does not
match the root directory of the mount namespace in which it
resides).
Do any of these apply to you? Are you in a chroot or otherwise
virtualized environment? Anything else you can think of that could
cause this error would be appreciated.
Thanks,
- Dave
