Hi,

We've just noticed that with recent versions of pcp that run as non-root, we've lost access to the /proc/pid/maps information.

Is the accepted way to re-enable this to start pmcd as root from pmcd.options? Or is there a more fine grained way to control access to this information? Also, any guesses on other metrics that would be affected by this change?

Thanks

Martins
