Restrict access to process information to the owning user. Enabling

this option implies, among other things, that command-line arguments

remain private. This option is recommended for most systems, unless

ensures that access to process information is restricted to the
15

owning user. This implies, among other things, that command-line
16

arguments remain private. Unless your deployment relies on unprivileged
17
+
users being able to inspect the process information of other users, this
18
+
option should be safe to enable.
