err... run rc-status as root?

I mean if you are not supposed to see if a process is running or not as
normal user, then hardned is doin it's job when does not allow rc-status
to show this info to the unprivileged user.

if (!HARDENED || (HARDENED && euid=0) {
	/* show if process is running or not */
}
