From
Hello,

Thanks for updating the man page.

The program userns_child_exec.c in user_namespaces.7 should be updated
to write in /proc/.../setgroups, near the line:
/* Update the UID and GID maps in the child */

Otherwise, the example given in the manpage does not work:
$ ./userns_child_exec -p -m -U -M '0 1000 1' -G '0 1000 1' bash

Cheers,
Alban
