From
Subjectcosmetic patch to linux kernel
Date
hello, UAC_NOPRINT is on by default, i think that sucks :)

who should i moan at to get it changed?

i made this patch (very quick) to make an option out of it, do you think
marcelo would check it in (if i made it tidier, or whatever)? or would my
best bet be to just ask someone to change it?

Thanks!
