Why do you want to? If nobody can read /proc then they can't run things
like 'ps'. That's not a good thing. /etc is a similar case. Depending
on your installation, it's quite likely that there are things in /etc
that *need* to be readable by a normal user.
Have you got something specific that you want to hide from your users?
Do you really distrust them that much? I have had accounts on numerous
"public" systems, included, for example, shell servers run by ISPs. Not
once have I ever seen one that restricted read access to /proc or /etc.
