Subject:   [Q] gdb on one box attaching to another?
Message-ID:  <199608290311.UAA07302@freefall.freebsd.org>

on page 508 of the new daemon book _the_design_and_implementation_of_
_the_4.4BSD_operating_system_ it says:

	the kernel is also set up so that a gdb debugger running
	on once machine can attach itself across a serial line to 
	a kernel running on another machine.  Once attached, it
	can set breakpoints, examine and modify kernel dat4a
	structures, and invoke kernel routines on the machine 
	being debugged.

wow...how do we do this?  what commands?  i feel a justification for
getting a second FreeBSD box.  probably should be a laptop ;)
