Please note that, from a security standpoint, this has given any "sys" group
member (or set-gid "sys" process) super-user access if it chooses to exploit it.

Also note that "ps" need not have write permission on /etc in order to rewrite
/etc/ps_data.  (If so desired, the file could be locked during rewrite so that
concurrent "ps"es wouldn't trip over each other.)
