Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/5373

I'm wanting to have my conky display process information (top N processes consuming CPU/RAM) but with the default conky.profile shipped with firejail 0.9.70 the processes visible to Conky is limited. Back in 2018 the following was posted by a contributor in a similar thread:

who and top providing only limited information inside the sandbox is by design and currently not configurable. EDIT: It is possible though to allow who to read /var/log/wtmp with the --writable-var-log option, if that's considered an acceptable alternative.

Is the same still true where this is currently not configurable?
