Code:
santiago@alphard:~$ uname -srv
Linux 3.14.32-xxxx-grs-ipv6-64 #9 SMP Thu Oct 20 14:53:52 CEST 2016
santiago@alphard:~$ cat /etc/debian_version
7.11
santiago@alphard:~$ bash --version | head -1
GNU bash, version 4.2.37(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
santiago@alphard:~$ ps --version
procps-ng version 3.3.3

I have many Debian and they all work fine except 2 of them. It is kernel related I think.

Here is a list of some of the kernels working fine (they are all Debian distribution kernels):
  • 2.06.26-2-686
  • 2.06.32-5-686
  • 2.06.32-5-amd64
  • 3.02.00-4-686-pae
  • 3.02.00-4-amd64
  • 3.16.00-4-amd64
Here are the 2 kernels that do NOT work as I wish (they are OVH Dedicated Server Debian custom kernel):
  • 2.06.21.05-grsec-xxxx-grs-ipv4-32
  • 3.14.32-xxxx-grs-ipv6-64
Unfortunately, I failed to upgrade the kernel because (according to the hosting company), the hardware is incompatible.

I can live with a non standard kernel but if anyone knows where I can tweak the setting that makes other users processes invisible, I'd take some help with great gratitude.

Regards
Santiago
