Yes, ps does this...
ps(1) either elevates its priviledges during execution, or has some
other way of medling into the afairs of other processes that will
eventually need some higher priviledge status (either that, or I am
really out-dated on modern operational systems)
There lots of ways of finding information on other process, using
libkvm was the most recent option that I saw ;) might be worth taking
a look at it...
