your example does work; mine was a counter example.

but in pointing out the nits, i missed the point.
according to the ns(1) man page

          [...]The out-
          put is in the form of an rc(1) script that could, in princi-
          ple, recreate the name space.  The output is produced by
          reading and reformatting the contents of /proc/pid/ns.

so following fd2path along its merry way down
to the source doesn't help generating such a script.
i could think of cases where it would be a hinderance.

perhaps you want a new program, nsroot that does
what you suggest.
