Subject: Why can't I run a simple /bin/bash command from root on RHEL 8.5?

Hi Folks,
We are struggling to understand why we can run rootless containers on RHEL
8.5.
Why can't I do the following (as described at [1]) as a non-root user:
[pportant@intlab-006 ~]$ podman run --rm --name=myubi -it
registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/ubi /bin/bash
[pportant@intlab-006 ~]$ echo $?
0
Shouldn't that start an interactive shell in the container?
When I run as root I see:
[root@intlab-006 ~]# podman run --rm --name=myubi -it
registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/ubi /bin/bash
[root@intlab-006 ~]# echo $?
127
While on another RHEL 8.5 host it works just fine:
[pportant@intlabproxy-002 ~]$ podman run --rm --name=myubi -it
registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/ubi /bin/bash
[root@a9ef24a2578b /]#
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, -Peter
