I'm trying to understand how an application works. Since gdb has this feature of allowing me to step through each line of code, I decided to use gdb to understand working of the application.
I compiled it specially for gdb using the following command DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="noopt nostrip debug" debuild -b -us -uc I loaded the file into gdb using file <filename> and it's loaded successfully and debugging symbols are found. But, when I run the program, I get the following error. Starting program: ~/Documents/sources/sudo 1.7.0_from_ubuntu/sudo-1.7.0/build-simple/sudo su [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] Cannot find new threads: generic error (As this error message gives away, i'm trying to understand the working of the sudo command.) What exactly does this error mean? -- "Fear can hold you prisoner.
