How does one set ps only to show the processes for the user who is running
ps? (beside root)

Someone told me to do this:

let them see their own processes only by putting 'kern.ps_showallprocs=0' in
your /etc/sysctl.conf file

If you don't want to reboot for it to take effect just run "sysctl
kern.ps_showallprocs=0"

But i get this error back:
sysctl: unknown oid 'kern.ps_showallprocs'

Thanks,

Jordan
