How the heck are you running containers without kernel access? Does your software not malloc or read files or you know... execute?

Containers implement something not unlike SELinux policies. Networking stuff requires the NET_ADMIN permission, which is not set by default.

Setting up networking requires root but so does creating the container so I don't see what the problem is. Using networking doesn't require any special permissions.
