There is a way to get list of processes even if sysctl kern.ps_showallprocs
is set to 0, because listing single PIDs isn't protected.

This simple script shows how to get list of all processes:

#!/bin/sh
i=0;
while [ $i -lt 100000 ]
do
	ps -p $i | grep -v "^  PID"
	i=$(($i+1))
done

This kld module provides fix for this bug.

Instalation.

	# cd /path/to/showprocs/
	# make
	# make install

and:

	# make load

Enjoy!
