Hi Rick,=20

What would be the point of hiding the processes in a situation where one
user cannot manipuate another user's processes? In FreeBSD, I think only
users with root privileges can manipulate other users processes.=20
To just hide systems processes, you could use some sysctl(8) variables,
which you can put in /etc/sysctl.conf.

A good start is=20

sysctl -w kern.ps_showallprocs=3D0

man sysctl

Any dramatic series the producers want us to take seriously as a
representation of contemporary reality cannot be taken seriously as a
representation of anything -- except a show to be ignored by anyone
capable of sitting upright in a chair and chewing gum simultaneously.
