If you think that's useful to you, why don't you just use it. It's not useful to me[*] and - IMHO - generally useless on any system where more than one user with privileged access works on a cooperative projects. [*] "Everyday real-world example": One of the things I'm dealing with is a proprietary racoon fork part of a VPN product for mobiles (hefty simplification). I usually don't work on code as root but in case I need to run a debugging session, I have to run the debugger as root as it will need to be able to control a privileged process, namely, the IKE daemon. Being prevented from seeing my own processes via ps because they happen to be running with elevated privileges would at least be a nuisance. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
