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.
