Hi all,

I am trying to attach dbx to a running process.
When I issue the command -
$ dbx process_name process_pid
I get -
Cannot attach to process 2333 -- Permission denied.

What could be the reason for the error?

Thanks and regards,
SK

Unless you're the superuser, you can only attach to a process running
under your UID. So either the process was started by another user, or
it's running setuid to another user.
