Prior to this werk, the Runas section of the Checkmk agent contained a wrong trailing slash which resulted in an error with the find command. As a direct consequence, some or potentially all Runas rules were inadvertently ignored, leading to the plugin, not intended for root, being executed with root privileges. This werk fixes this behaviour.
