-Nat a network namespace. systemd friendly

-Also creates a mount namespace with a cloned /run/resolvconf.
+Create and/or nat a network namespace.
Arguments:
namespace in that case.
-n NETWORK x.x.x /24 private network to use. If not specified, uses
the first unused one starting at 10.173.1
+-m DIR:BIND_DIR Like BindReadOnlyPaths in systemd. Assumes norbind. Untested. Multiple options allowed.
+ todo: figure out how to set norbind.
-h, --help Show this help and exit.

+If we do create the netns (and optionally mount ns),
+to join it with a shell, we can do (as root):
/usr/bin/nsenter --mount=/run/mount-namespaces/NAME --net=/var/run/netns/NAME bash
If you dont care about the mount namespace, you can leave that option off.
For systemd:
-From within a systemd network namespace, we nat it to the outside. This
+From within a systemd created network namespace, we nat it to the outside. This
would be called from ExecStartPre, and or subsequent units called with
-JoinsNamespaceOf= and PrivateNetwork=true.
-
-If resolvconf is installed, we create a named mount namespace under
-/run/mount-namespaces, so we can alter some system config for this
-namespace. systemd command lines would be prefixed with:
-
-/usr/bin/nsenter --mount=/run/mount-namespaces/NS_NAME
-
-Note, this means that they can't run as unpriveledged users, but once
-systemd 233 comes out, it will have a bind mount option from within unit
-files, so the mount namespace won't be needed for most use cases, and I
-will update the script to that the mount namespace not created unless a
-flag is passed in. Patch welcome to add that flag before then.
+JoinsNamespaceOf= and PrivateNetwork=true. Or with newer systemd, create the
+network namespace with this script, then join it with
+NetworkNamespacePath=/var/run/netns/NAME
This script has a dependency
Background on this project (you can skip if you like):
-If we aren't creating a named network namespace, to join the namespace
-with a shell, I use:
+Joining an existing network + mount namespact can also be done with:
nsenter -n -m -t \$(pgrep PROCESS_IN_NAMESPACE) bash
-Note: if I knew how to easily ask systemd what pid a unit has, i would
-do that.

-"ip netns new ..." also does a mount namespace, then bind
-mounts each file/dir in /etc/netns/NS_NAME to /etc/NS_NAME. Note,
-for openvpn having it's own resolv.conf by using it's user script which
-calls resolvconf, this doesn't help much. What we actually want to do is
-copy /run/resolvconf somehwere then bind mount it on top of
-/run/resolvconf.
+Note: "ip netns new ..." also does a mount namespace, then bind
+mounts each file/dir in /etc/netns/NS_NAME to /etc/NS_NAME.
Note: for debugging, adding set -x is a pretty good option.
