Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/4] allow sethostname in a container
Date: Thu, 9 Dec 2010 17:30:50 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101209173050.GA10206@mail.hallyn.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20101209172843.GA10155@mail.hallyn.com>

To test this, you can:
	1. clone a new user namespace without a new uts namespace.
	   You can NOT set hostname.
	2. clone both a new user and uts namespace.  You can set
	   hostname.
