Is there going to be a tool to help manage namespaces (I'd guess from util-linux)?

In the latest git of util-linux there is nsenter and unshare.

There is code in lxc.

Just for network namespaces there is code in iproute.

There is work underway to get support for multiple uids and gids per user into shadow-utils.

If none of the other options out there float your boat (LXC, unshare command or others) then you may want to try a tool i wrote to play with this from python called asylum. its available at http://code.pocketnix.org/asylum
