Title:
  quantum-ns-metadata-proxy runs as root

Status in OpenStack Neutron (virtual network service):
  Triaged

Bug description:
  # ps -ef | grep quantum-ns-metadata-proxy
  root     10239     1  0 19:01 ?        00:00:00 python /usr/bin/quantum-ns-metadata-proxy --pid_file=/var/lib/quantum/external/pids/7a44de32-3ac0-4f3e-92cc-1a37d8211db8.pid --router_id=7a44de32-3ac0-4f3e-92cc-1a37d8211db8 --state_path=/var/lib/quantum --debug --log-file=quantum-ns-metadata-proxy7a44de32-3ac0-4f3e-92cc-1a37d8211db8.log --log-dir=/var/log/quantum

  
  Root is needed to open the namespace, but the quantum-ns-metadata-proxy does not need root - it listens on 9697 by default not 80.

  I tried changing /etc/quantum/rootwrap.d/l3.filters for it to run as
  quantum instead:

  metadata_proxy: CommandFilter, /usr/bin/quantum-ns-metadata-proxy,
  quantum

  but it still runs as root.
