<title>Hiding process information</title>
<para>
Setting
<programlisting>
security.hideProcessInformation = true;
</programlisting>
ensures that access to process information is restricted to the
owning user. This implies, among other things, that command-line
arguments remain private. Unless your deployment relies on unprivileged
users being able to inspect the process information of other users, this
option should be safe to enable.

<para>
Members of the <literal>proc</literal> group are exempt from process
information hiding.

To allow a service <replaceable>foo</replaceable> to run without process information hiding, set
