True, but there are a number of situations where something like this is
very useful. Consider a computing facility whose customers are in
competition with each other. In those cases, keeping users from seeing
other processes is a very good thing. For instance the Airbus engineers
might not want the Boeing engineers to see what simulations they are
running.

As for normal Unix behavior, my understanding is that the default will be
to show everything. :-)

Take care,
