in Adam's Ideas; 72 words

It would be useful if you could apply some of the Linux CLONE_* flags to the current process in the same way that setsid() behaves -- particularly CLONE_NEWNS. I can't currently write a "newns" tool for freedt that doesn't clone and wait for a child process, and I'd very much like to be able to do so for sandboxing. setsid() could then be implemented in terms of this and a new CLONE_SESSION flag.
