It can work with binary executables, but of course the capabilities won't
persist across execve, which may be what you meant.

Then please define 'did not work' in ubuntu.

In any case, you'll "soon" be able to user user namespaces to start
containers without needing privilege (a start to the lxc patch is at
https://code.launchpad.net/~serge-hallyn/ubuntu/quantal/lxc/lxc-user-ns,
but the kernel patchset, at
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/serge/quantal-userns.git ,
needs some more features).
