proc permissions problem

[niz]

I have grsecuritys proc restrictions enabled and I need to read /proc/net/arp file with some program. Can I give permission to read that file with acl to some process?

No, you can't. The ACL system can never override regular DAC permissions. However, if you had selected the special group option of the /proc restrictions, you could simply place the user who needs to access /proc/net in that group.
