            Bug ID: 230068
           Summary: ps: processes with non-ASCII characters are hidden
                    from list in "ps auxww"
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: rol@robert-eckardt.de

File contains example scripts and output from test-run.

A process with non-ASCII character in its name does not show up in the list=
ing
by 'ps auxww' (or other variants).
At best, it confuses the one who started the process.
At worst, unauthorized processes can act on a system without showing up in =
the
process list.

For example, start a processes named 'GuterProzess' and 'B=C3=B6serProzess'.
In ps only 'GuterProzess' will appear.
(BTW, e.g. lsof lists the other process too.)
