Any environment variables configured through env in the munet schema do not seem to be actually configured within a Linux namespace node.
For example, configuring munet.yaml as follows:
topology:
nodes:
- name: temp
cmd: echo $foo
env:
- name: foo
value: bar
and entering the node temp through the command term temp, it can be observed that "bar" is missing from cmd.log. Similarly, echo $foo does not print "bar"
