Good day!
I mean that /proc file permission for process information must be
secure:

This example is for system with private system groups, with common
system group the processes dirs in proc must have permissions 600, IMHO.

In ppp driver IMHO:

I mean, that change group of file must able fileowner (CAP_FOWNER), but
not the CAP_CHOWN. May be I right?
