While possible, the chmod+chown 'solutions' just aren't as simple as
you pretend. Every time one creates a chroot environment and mounts
/proc it has be manually fixed there as well. Same thing with a
container. Sure if /proc were something that was only ever mounted
one time on a box it wouldn't be so bad, but that's not the case.....
