Description of problem:
ps excludes all system processes and any processes other than the user
running the ps (non-root)



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install from development tree with policy 1.9
2. make non-root users and login
3. run ps afx
    

Actual Results:  only user related processes are shown, no system
processes like init or nfsd show up in the output

Expected Results:  all processes should show

Additional info:

seems to be related to not being able to examine directories in /proc
under the selinux 1.9 policy set.  Changing into /proc and doing an ls
reveals lots of non-examinable processes.

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2004-03-23 10:49:10 UTC
This is by design.  ALthough newer policies will be more relaxed.  In
a truly secure environment nonpriv users will only be able to view
their own processes.  newrole -r sysadm_r to see more processes.
