[systemd-devel] [PATCH] netns: unix: only allow to find out unix socket in same net namespace

Allowing one net namespace to access another netns's unix socket is
deliberate behavior.  This is a desired and useful feature, and
only a misconfiguration of visible files would allow this to be a
problem.

The simple answer is don't do that then.  I can see no reason
to share /run outside of the container unless you want this kind of
behavior.

Quite frankly I want this behavior if I am using network namespaces
to support multiple routing contexts. That is if I am using scripts
like:

ip netns add other
ip netns exec other script

I don't want to have to remember to say 
ip netns orig exec shutdown -h now

There are more compelling uses and there is no cost in supporting this
in the kernel.

What kind of misconfiguration caused someone to complain about this?
