--- Comment #13 from Paul Floyd <pjfl...@wanadoo.fr> ---
Is that safe to do?

Valgrind, a bit like GDB, is a security risk.

On FreeBSD sysctl security.bsd.unprivileged_proc_debug controls whether
applications like gdb or valgrind can run. Does Linux have an equivalent?

FreeBSD Valgrind does support Capsicum (it's capability mode interface), but it
just passes on syscalls (after printing a warning when calling cap_enter). The
means some Valgrind functionality is lost (specifically opening files after
entering capability mode which at least one of the tools uses).
