Subject:   what about unmounting /proc?

Hi

Because of an exploit that worked with the /proc filesystem I wondered
what difference it would make if I unmounted /proc. In the procfs manual I
read that the filesystem is used for 'w' and 'ps' but both commands still
work after unmounting and I don't see one error.

Are there any problems to be expected (for a web/mail/sql/... server)?

Paul
