I think that the output from FreeBSD's truss is pretty pathetic and unusable. ktrace is somewhat better. Recently I discovered that there is a version of strace in our ports collection. I installed it and noticed that its output is a lot better. Since then I use strace exclusively for debugging and I'm very happy with it. strace follows children when you use the -f option (this is similar to ktrace's -i option). Regards Oliver PS: I tried strace under -stable only. I don't know if it works under -current as well. -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co KG, Oettingenstr. 2, 80538 M�nchen Any opinions expressed in this message may be personal to the author and may not necessarily reflect the opinions of secnetix in any way.
