Hi, when I boot with kernel-secure, the procfs process entries of other users aren't readable (that's ok, feature of grsecurity).
Utility "w" should list logged on users even when it cannot read their current running processes. You can get the patch to procps from http://www.openwall.com/linux/ It's in the tar.gz package with their kernel patches. The patch is harmless, "w" still works as intented, but when it cannot get user process, it still lists the user with "-" as his/her process.
