Re: /proc can be navigated to as ordinary user -- not as root!?

Howdy, fellow Debianites,

I have bumped into a most peculiar situation lately. On my laptop (running a fully updated Lenny with Gnome) I can easily navigate into / proc (both with Nautilus and Gnome-Commander). When I try to run these browsers with gksu or su, however, they never let me into /proc -- if I try to enter there, they just stop responding. Ideas, anyone?

Try something like sudo emacs/vim/$EDITOR /proc/cpuinfo and see if it works.
