I have been trying for some time to run a daemon for mobility on my machine. At some point this daemon is creating a routing socket and is sending a routing socket message through the routing socket to the kernel to act on something. The daemon that I have complains that the kernel does not understand this routing socket message. The support for mobility on the kernel should really have taken care of that, but for some reason it does not. So I decided to run a debug session on the daemon so that I can trace the problem. I have reached the point where the write operation to the socket is made but I cannot go deeper into the kernel code to see what is happening there. I am running xxgdb or gdbtk. I have not used ddb yet. Could you possibly assist me in showing how it is possible to set the debugger to go from the source of a debugged executable into the source of another executable when during the debug session of the first a function is being called from the second. Also if you have any knowledge with the kernel, you may be able to explain this to me. When you create new routing socket messages and these have been defined in a header file (.h) which are the places that you have to make sure that you put your header so that the kernel understands the routing socket message Any help would be highly appreciated. Now some general problem that I have been having with my FreeBSD box - For some time since I installed fbsd I am having problems with my keyboard. It goes dead after some time of usage. The rest of the system is fine, including the mouse. So it looks as if the process that controls the keyboard (or something like that is crashing or stopping). How can I stop that from happening. I have to reboot the machine every time this happens and it get a pain in the back side. - Also how can my exmh client to be able to retrieve mail from a server - Is there a similar program to truss (on Solaris) for freeBSD?? - Is there a front-end for ddb??
