nsdo
====
`nsdo` (network namespace do) is a simple C program that runs a command
inside a given [Linux network namespace][1].
Effectively, it simplifies:
$ sudo ip netns exec myns sudo -u $USER myprogram
to
$ nsdo myns myprogram
Thanks to magic of the [setuid bit][2], it initially has root
privileges, which allows it to change its own network namespace,
`setuid()` to the user who ran the command, and then `exec()` the
requested command.
installation
------------
If you're on Arch, you can build [my AUR package][4].
Otherwise:
$ make
# make install
To change the default installation directory of `/usr/local`, set
`PREFIX` to something else when you call `make install`.
openvpn example
---------------
I wrote this program because I run some applications under a VPN (e.g.,
clients for peer-to-peer protocols) and leave others untouched (like a
game client).
For more details, see `openvpn-example.md` ([cgit][5], [github][6]).
