Subject: [PATCH] Isolate the UTS namespace's domainname and hostname back
Date: Wednesday, November 21, 2007 - 7:06 am

The commit

commit 7d69a1f4a72b18876c99c697692b78339d491568
Author: Cedric Le Goater <clg@fr.ibm.com>
Date:   Sun Jul 15 23:40:58 2007 -0700

    remove CONFIG_UTS_NS and CONFIG_IPC_NS

accidentally removed the code, that prevented the uts->hostname
and uts->domainname values from being overwritten from another
namespace. In other words, setting hostname/domainname via sysfs 
(echo xxx > /proc/sys/kernel/(host|domain)name) cased the new
value to be set in init UTS namespace only.

Return the isolation back.
