Description

works fine without --net. Should work with --net as well.

reproduce:

# docker run --rm --runtime=sysbox-runc --net testnet alpine
docker: Error response from daemon: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:424: starting container process caused: process_linux.go:607: container init caused: switching Docker DNS: rootfs_linux.go:1409: writing /etc/resolv.conf caused: open /etc/resolv.conf: permission denied: unknown.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the docker run --rm --runtime=sysbox-runc --net testnet alpine failure with the reported Docker and sysbox-runc versions. Trace the Docker DNS handling around rootfs_linux.go:1409 and compare it with the successful run without --net. Done means the networked command starts successfully without the /etc/resolv.conf permission error.
