Description

When running podman inside a container and setting hostname I get the following error: Error: invalid config provided: cannot set hostname when running in the host UTS namespace: invalid configuration

Steps to reproduce the issue:

$ podman run --privileged -ti --entrypoint /bin/bash quay.io/podman/stable                                                                                                    
[root@ac64aaf3b50d /]# podman run --hostname test hello-world
Resolved "hello-world" as an alias (/etc/containers/registries.conf.d/000-shortnames.conf)
