 #### Solution
 
-If you want to read or remove such a file, you can do so by entering a user namespace.
-Instead of running commands such as `less dir1/a` or `rm dir1/a`, you would need to
-prepend the command-line with `podman unshare`, i.e.,
-`podman unshare less dir1/a` or `podman unshare rm dir1/a`. To be able to use Bash
-features, such as variable expansion and globbing, you need to wrap the command with
-`bash -c`, e.g. `podman unshare bash -c 'ls $HOME/dir1/a*'`.

 Would it have been possible to run Podman in another way so that your regular
 user would have become the owner of the file? Yes, you can use the options
