Look in the file fs/proc/base.c, for: struct proc_dir_entry proc_pid = { PROC_PID_INO, 5, "<pid>", S_IFDIR | S_IRUGO | S_IXUGO, 2, 0, 0, 0, &proc_base_inode_operations, NULL, proc_pid_fill_inode, NULL, &proc_root, NULL }; Change the permissions to `S_IFDIR | S_IRU | S_IXU' to restrict access to the owner. -- Glynn Clements <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
