Ptrace system call disabled

The ptrace system call has been disabled on Aalto Ubuntu desktops and shell servers for now due to a security vulnerability.

This prevents the use of, for example, gdb and other debuggers.

We will try to restore the functionality as soon as possible.

We apologise for the inconvenience.
