Sure.
You can find the info about grsecurity here <a href="http://grsecurity.net/">http://grsecurity.net/</a>
The explanation of the module is:
If you say Y here, the permissions of the /proc filesystem will be altered to
enhance system security and privacy. You MUST choose either a user only
restriction or a user and group restriction. Depending upon the option you
choose, you can either restrict users to see only the processes they themselves
run, or choose a group that can view all processes and files normally
restricted to root if you choose the "restrict to user only" option. NOTE: If
you're running identd or ntpd as a non-root user, you will have to run it as
the group you specify here.</pre>
