From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Well, that's your problem. sub?id is what defines which uids and gids are available to a user for purposes of making user namespaces. It's strange that those files don't already exist; useradd should create them automatically. What distro are you using?
Regardless, you can create those files yourself. Here's a line from subuid my machine:
administrator:100000:65536. The first field is the username (you can also use a uid), the second is the starting uid for the block of uids, and the third field is the number of uids in that block. So uids from 100000-165535 (inclusive) are allocated to the user administrator.See and for more details.
This was my issue. I had to reboot my machine and now Podman is working properly.
Glad to hear it!
