Subject: resolv/tst-resolv-res_init fails with unshare (CLONE_NEWUTS) failed: Operation not permitted
Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2022 19:16:20 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <DM5PR06MB3082B77DAEC2123077A037FDA3029@DM5PR06MB3082.namprd06.prod.outlook.com> (raw)
Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere.
under linux-5.16.9 I am building and testing glibc-2.35 and get one FAIL in the test suite : glibc-build/resolv/tst-resolv-res_init.out contains :
warning: could not become root outside namespace (Operation not permitted)
warning: unshare (CLONE_NEWUTS) failed: Operation not permitted
warning: could not enter network namespace
I think the cause if that is this code in support/support_become_root.c
unshare (CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWNS)
is getting EPERM.
After reading the man page for unshare() I am none the wiser about whether :
. the userid running the test is missing some capability that is needed in order to run the test - if so , what?
. there is some environmental problem - if so , how can I find out what?
. or is this test supposed to be run by root? (I think not but unclear)
I am sure the answer is buried somewhere in some doc but if anyone can help me get there I would be grateful.
Cheers, John Lumby
