Hi,

Can someone confirm that the nfacct subsystem is not network namespace
aware/safe?

>From checking the code, it would appear that all nfacct targets are kept
in a global list. This would mean that unrelated namespaces can interfere
with each other.

There is no netns support for nfacct yet, but it should be easy to
add.

Patches are welcome :)
