If I cannot trust the tools provided by the OS for finding out whats |
| 25 |
going on-- than what can I trust -- this is intolerable! - if it is |
| 26 |
simply a situation if a non root user not being able to see root |
| 27 |
processes that is one thing, BUT if it really is a situation of the |
| 28 |
tools not giving accurate asessments, that is a whole other situation, |
| 29 |
and one that just cannot be allowed to continue (not that I can do much |
| 30 |
other than scream about it, cuz im not a programmer) |
