"The proc file system is a pseudo-file system which is used as an interface to kernel data structures. It is commonly mounted at /proc." - http://linux.die.net/man/5/proc There's an entry in fstab, when /proc is NOT on it's own partition. You also can try proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0 "dev / nodev Interpret/do not interpret block special devices on the filesystem. exec / noexec exec lets you execute binaries that are on that partition, whereas noexec does not let you do that. noexec might be useful for a partition that contains no binaries, like /var, or contains binaries you do not want to execute on your system, or that cannot even be executed on your system. Last might be the case of a Windows partition. suid / nosuid Permit/Block the operation of suid, and sgid bits." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fstab Perhaps this prevents against something fishy.
