Now that you mention it, I remember seeing that same situation. You are right; the ps would not work except for root. I well imagine that many packages are broken by that higher security like SAMBA or CUPS. Yes, I had strange permissions problems with SAMBA when I raised the security level to "Higher". I would hate to see what sort of things break if one went to "Paranoid" security.
