Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/516

Is it possible to create a private /etc with no files at all? You can with tmpfs, but that works only as root.

Is --private-etc with no arguments what we want?

If you give --private-etc a single file, and the file doesn't exist, your /etc directory will be a regular, empty tmpfs filesystem:

$ firejail --private-etc=blablabla

I'm confirming this. Maybe this can be documented in the man pages.
