Subject: [PATCH 2/2] pasta: Do not configure ID mappings when invoked with --netns-only
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2026 11:37:27 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260721153727.2173831-3-dbb@dbb.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260721153727.2173831-1-dbb@dbb.dev>
Add a `bool` argument `config_idmaps` to `pasta_start_ns()` that guards
the logic to configure user and group ID mappings. It is set to `false`
when `netns_only` is `true`. Fixes bug 216.
