can we find a solution to bug #820895 (show Process Name in log files) (imaginative solution/description presented)?

Stop throwing around privacy like there is some big security flaw in
Linux, there are tools that do what everyone wants, it seems to me
that nobody is willing to even look or everybody is fed baby food,
what is the point of being on Linux if you aren't going to use the
terminal for what it's there for?  Try searching for once.

Because apparmor and selinux never existed, right?  That's just what
we need, another tool to do what two tools could do if they just had a
single tool to merge them together.  How about we find a way to make
an application that merges apparmor and iptables (as a wrapper not as
a t ool that does them both) rather then trying to reinvent the wheel
and then after reinventing it putting spinners on it so it's ugly.

Because netstat no longer allows you to see location and application anymore.
