Hallo, does anyone know how to hide running processes of other users?
Problem Case: User X logs in, opens firefox, downloads and views a PDF file. User Y logs in, runs 'ps' and see that X uses 'evince /tmp/abc.pdf'. Because of privacy rights user X does not want, that other users see what he does. I can imagine, that application of privacy rights is a sys-admin problem in many organisations. We thought about using VMs, but it costs much resources (RAM) to run a separate VM for each session. On the other hand there is such concept in kernel called 'namespaces' http://lwn.net/Articles/259217/. This could be the way to solve the problem, but, beside of the sys-call, we couldn'n find any user tools. There is also a project called 'lxc (linux containers)' http://lxc.sf.net Any expiriences with that? Our installation runs Ubuntu 8.04. with LTSP5 (distro package).
