Description Nir 2004-06-23 19:22:38 UTC

When you have to debug a daemon, or better yet - a shared object loaded by a daemon, you have to "attach to process" as root user.
And of course - I don't want to run kdevelop as root...

I suggest add another menu item : "attach to process as root", that will ask for root's password, and then will su to root before attaching.

Bug 60165 may sound similar, but it is not the same.

in fact its exactly the same thing, we don't need two reports open for the same bug: Allowing to debug applications running as root. It doesn't make a difference wether you attach to that app or wether you run them in gdb directly.
