RE: [HACKERS] How do I get the backend server into gdb?

The problem I need to debug won't allow me to do this.  A Postgres
connection starts and then dies very quickly with a user authentication
error or database non existence error before I have a chance to attach to
the process via gdb.  I need to find out why postgres will not allow my
Access97 connection to succeed.  Pg_hba.conf appears to be configured
correctly (it was working and has not changed in past two months).  I need
to have the new postgres session start up in debug.

You can attach to a running process using gdb... 'gdb -t <pid>' orsomething like that...its been awhile since I've used
it,sorry...
