I'm looking for a replacement for the strace program I used to use on linux; freebsd has a port of strace, but it just hangs everytime I use it. It looks like the bsd version of strace would be ktrace/kdump. I was able to get these to print a trace of the program I ran, but it doesn't do all the nice substatuting that strace was able to do. Mainly, I just want the first argument of open to look like a string instead of a 32 bit pointer that I can't read. I'm trying to figure out what files this program is trying to read so I can edit it's configuration file. -- I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen. Bluescreen leads to downtime. Downtime leads to suffering. NT is the path to the darkside. Powerful Unix is. Public Key: ftp://ftp.tallye.com/pub/lorenl_pubkey.asc Fingerprint: B3B9 D669 69C9 09EC 1BCD 835A FAF3 7A46 E4A3 280C
