I am wondering whether there should be a check for the target process 
that will receive the containerid to not have CAP_SYS_ADMIN that would 
otherwise allow it to arbitrarily unshare()/clone() and leave the set of 
namespaces that may make up the container whose containerid we assign here?

ppid not needed...
