Issue

  • The staprun group information is documented twice.
       staprun
              Members only of the stapusr group may any-privileged modules placed into the /lib/modules/VERSION/systemtap by the system administrator.

       staprun
              Members only of the stapusr group may also write and load low-privilege script modules, which are normally limited to manipulating  their  own
              processes (and not the kernel nor other users' processes).
  • There is no group called staprun.
# grep stap /etc/group
stapusr:x:156:
stapsys:x:157:
