Greetings, I've begun a series of patches against the 4.0-current tree that I hope you will find helpful. As this is my first attempt at contributing to freebsd, I hope you will excuse any potentional ``newbie'' behaviour in the field. I'm not sure whether or not this has already been done, but while being relevant to you it is irrelevant to me; this was just practice anyway :-). Basically, it is a patch into libkvm and w, that will allow a user (with the exception to the super user, naturally) to only view processes or information belonging to him/herself. I'm in the process right now I've trying to figure out how to make this an option, so if users wanted this feature they could add options I_AM_A_PARANOID_GOOD or something to that effect to the kernel config. Of course, I'd have to move these patches away from userland programs and into the kernel for this to work, which is what I intend to do anyway. Comments?
