Podman calls us with UID 0 in the user namespace it just created, so if we drop CAP_SYS_ADMIN in isolate_initial() we can't join the network namespace, and if we drop CAP_NET_ADMIN we can't configure it. So for that case (and only for that, I suppose), we need something like (tested): diff --git a/isolation.c b/isolation.c index 1769180..fee6dbd 100644 --- a/isolation.c +++ b/isolation.c @@ -190,7 +190,7 @@ void isolate_initial(void) * namespace if we have it, so that we can forward low ports * into the guest/namespace */ - drop_caps_ep_except((1UL << CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE)); + drop_caps_ep_except(BIT(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) | BIT(CAP_NET_ADMIN)); } ...which is a bit pointless. Better than *any* capability, but not by far. So, if we make this totally independent from configuration, we need those two capabilities. We could add a "postconf" stage and cover a tiny bit more of conf.c. Or we could have a special path in isolate_initial() for the case we know we're not in the init namespace. I'm not sure. If you have a specific preference/strong opinion I would actually be happier. :) -- Stefano
