Just for a wild guess, I'ld say that setting the sysname is screwing over your namespace. The only place that I see the namespace changed after init starts is the newns() in its main(). /lib/namespace includes at its end: . /lib/namespace.local . /lib/namespace.$sysname Could it be that you have a /lib/namespace.blah that is blowing things away?
