The actual right way to word it would be:

Tracing the kernel requires a root lttng-sessiond daemon, as well as 
\"tracing\" group membership or root user ID for the lttng client.

Makes sense ?

   Yeah, that's a fairly good way of saying you need a root lttng-sessiond 
daemon and some means of giving it instructions.  Since it is theoretically 
possible for a third-party application to send instructions directly to the 
root lttng-sessiond daemon (using the API) without using the lttng client, 
maybe that could be phrased "... or root user ID for lttng clients."  (Or am I 
mistaken in that belief?)
