Anyone know why this patch implement another sysctl instead of adding a 
security level specificaly for process privacy.
Less specificaly, seurity levels could be patched to permit a mask based 
implementation in order to mix features from differents security levels, 
just an idea...

Development cycle of OpenBSD4.0 support starts tomorrow and will be
finished when 4.1 releases?

Process privacy itself is done in kernel so top  other tools (like
lsof for example) will not work.
Ps, users, w  who are pathed to not show other users that are in 
this is independent with process privacy.

You may find OpenBSD that is on screenshots here:
http://nicram.sytes.net/openbsd/openbsd-3.9-i386-zophie.iso
It is extactly same OpenBSD.
 yes it is very easy to make it on Your own :) This is how KISS apps
should be made, even when they change something in kernel :)

Do I understand correctly I could just cvs co usr/bin/who and use the
official who and see who is online?


Yes because only process privacy is done in kernel.
