Hello.
Few weeks ago I had to kill something from virtual terminal (X or some fullscreen game frozen, I don’t remember well). I switched to VT1 (Ctrl-Alt-F1) and saw strange message near login prompt:
linux-n88a login: Error accessing systemtap module preloadtrace: Operation not permitted
linux-n88a is my hostname (automatically chosen by installer, I still wonder what’s n88a).
I googled what is systemtap and found this sourceware.org/systemtap . It’s some module for gathering information about linux box (but I haven’t time to deep more into it yet). Now I’m somewhat scared.
I want to ask what could cause this message and what should I investigate?
Thank you.
