    If I enable the sandbox on my system, I get killed with:

    strace output:

    19360 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/hosts", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 257
    19360 --- SIGSYS {si_signo=SIGSYS, si_code=SYS_SECCOMP, si_call_addr=0x7f7d90ab667e, si_syscall=__NR_openat, si_arch=AUDIT_ARCH_X86_64 ---}

    It is the first file being opened after the seccomp sandbox has been applied. Our sandbox code only considers "open()" to touch that file:

    OPEN("/etc/hosts");

    My libc is 2.26.

    We probably need to handle the same files with openat() as we do with open() for this.
