Did you want to limit the access to the top and ps binaries (type `man
chmod ; man chgrp`) or limit the information these binaries display?

When I looked at `man sysctl` the manpage said that "-w" has been
deprecated (i.e. the powers that be discourage its use) and my
/etc/sysctl.conf file is basically empty except for comments.

What?

I love when people ask if something is possible!  Ahem, this is FreeBSD?!

In the /etc/rc.conf file
enable_quotas="NO"      # turn on quotas on startup (or NO).
check_quotas="NO"       # Check quotas on startup (or NO).
accounting_enable="YES" # Turn on process accounting (or NO).

Change the first two to "YES" and also check out `man quota` for info.
