Basically, whether or not you will see setuid programs that the user has started up. For instance, right now on my system: (22) ps -x -o pid,user,uid,ruid,tt,command -U scatters PID USER UID RUID TT COMMAND 919 scatters 561 561 p1 /usr/local/bin/bash 1098 scatters 561 561 p2 /usr/local/bin/bash (23) ps -x -o pid,user,uid,ruid,tt,command -R scatters PID USER UID RUID TT COMMAND 917 root 0 561 ?? screen 1096 root 0 561 ?? screen 919 scatters 561 561 p1 /usr/local/bin/bash 1098 scatters 561 561 p2 /usr/local/bin/bash -- Garance Alistair Drosehn =3D gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
