/*
	newns : This program follows the same sequence as ip/httpd/httpd to create a new namespace from /lib/namespace and then add any actions supplied on the command line.
		Primarily this is as a debugging tool for ip/httpd/httpd and a little bit of curiosity. Once I'd come across newns(2) I immediately tried to run it from the cmd line so I figured that was a niche because I had no idea how to run a shell that didn't inherit a namespace.
