From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 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.
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. Dan
