<title>Hiding process information</title>
<para>
Setting
<programlisting>
<xref linkend="opt-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
