Description Mark Wielaard 2009-11-02 15:37:51 UTC
Although stap --help will show:
   --unprivileged
              restrict usage to features available to unprivileged users

and when running stap unprivileged it will show:
ERROR: You are trying to run stap as a normal user.
You should either be root, or be part of either group "stapdev" or group "stapusr".
Alternatively, your module must be compiled using the --unprivileged option and
signed by a trusted signer.
For more information, please consult the "SAFETY AND SECURITY" section of the
"stap(1)" manpage

the "stap(1)" manpage doesn't actually mention --unprivileged anywhere.

stap-client(8)
