My current POV (that can change) is that I prefer to be able to do the maximum of thing as a normal user (top, ps, read log (I'm in the adm group), ...) ans switch to root when I really need to do some modifications.You apparently can have a "special" group that can see everything.
Aren’t there PAM modules which can grant capabilities to certain users?
That might be worthwhile for a default. It makes things like pstree look odd, so I'll be expecting some new bug reports.
It will break software like nagios with check_procs. Any ideas how one can solve this? dpkg-stateoverwrite doesn’t support capabilities, only the standard chmod commands.
