I realize this. This work is very similar to problems we've solved 12 years
ago. We'll figure out what the right name is for it down the road. But the
concept is the same. If something enters a container, we need to know about
it. It needs to get tagged and be associated with the container. The way this
was solved for the loginuid problem was to add a session identifier so that
new logins of the same loginuid can coexist and we can trace actions back to a
specific login. I'd think we can apply lessons learned from a while back to
make container identification act similarly.
