the solutions should be simple...

as you say, you only want user to run 'ps -u $LOGNAME' and nothing else

you can solve this easily by disallowing all users to run the ps command
(disable the executable bit for others...)

then you can make your own ps file which is a just a bash script that
executes the ps -u $LOGNAME command
and put it in /usr/bin (and eventually move the old ps filt to /urs/sbin or
something...)
