Well, as I understand it, the point of zones is to delegate and reduce 
the
power of root access.  For instance, running insecure or 
questionably-secure
software packages far removed from other services, or hosting with each
user getting root.

OTOH, a) running the OpenAFS server shouldn't be impacted (as I 
understand it,
this is strictly client-side), and b) I wouldn't be totally optimistic 
about
running the AFS client kernel module in the non-global zone anyway.

That does bring to mind something else, is the PAG namespace global 
across
user-mode linux instances?
