I'm a complete newbie to systemtap, so please explain why when I try and 
run the example on the link above that you sent me I get this:
> [root@kraken1 systemtap]# stap -v tcp_mon.stp
> Created temporary directory "/tmp/stapM6VSNS"

Also you say to copy tapset.stp to a directory you create in that post - 
where do I get tapset.stp?

Sorry for the beginner question :)
