It is not a rootkit, and SELinux is disabled..

I am unsure of how to debug this but something is preventing root to 
"lsof" or "strace" for processes owned by other users. Checking in 
detail, I can use strace/lsof as "root" to see details of a process 
owned by root, but fails to do so for processes running as any other user.

Is there any kernel (proc or sysctl) parameter preventing this?
