Eric W. Biederman 58a3e8270f iproute2: Make "ip netns delete" more likely to succeed
Sometimes "ip netns delete" fails because it can not delete the file a
network namespace was mounted on.  If this only happened when a
network namespace was really in use this would be fine, but today it
is possible to pin all network namespaces by simply having a long
running process started with "ip netns exec".

Every mount is copied when a network namespace is created so it is
impossible to prevent the mounts from getting into other mount
namespaces.  Modify all mounts in the files and subdirectories of
/var/run/netns to be shared mount points so that unmount events can
propogate, making it unlikely that "ip netns delete" will fail because
a directory is mounted in another mount namespace.

This is a set of utilities for Linux networking.

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm

arpd needs to have the db4 development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdb4.x-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines.  Often this is in the db-devel package.

2. make

The makefile will automatically build a Config file which
contains whether or not ATM is available, etc.

3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
   look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
   PAGESIZE=a4		, ie: a4 , letter ...	(string)
   PAGESPERPAGE=2	, ie: 1 , 2 ...		(numeric)
   and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
   are in your path.

4. This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
   the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
   if you have special requirements and need to point at different
   kernel include files.
