         <antrik> note that there is a number of known bugs in rpctrace, for which zhengda has sent patches... though I haven't reviewed all of them I think
         <antrik> there are some nasty Mach operations that are really hard to proxy -- but I don't think the auth mechanism needs any of these...

+        <mcsim> hello. Are there any documentation about understanding output
+          of rpctrace?
+        <braunr> no
+        <braunr> you should read the source code, best doc available
+        <braunr> if you have too many numbers and almost no symbolc names,
+          you're lacking rpc definition lists
+        <braunr> check that the gnumach-common package is installed, as it
+          provides the gnumach definitions
+        <braunr> (the glibc ones are almost always available)
+        <braunr> with those two, you should be fine for the beginning
+        <mcsim> gnumach-common is installed. And what is the name for glibc
+          package for gnumach definitions.
+        <mcsim> Also I'm using libraries specified by LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Does it
+          make influence on absence of symbolic names?
+        <braunr> no
+        <braunr> rpctrace --help
+        <braunr> see the --rpc-list=FILE option
+        <braunr> the default lists are in /usr/share/msgids/, with the .msgids
+          extension
+        <braunr> $ dpkg -S msgids
+        <braunr> gnumach-common: /usr/share/msgids/gnumach.msgids
+        <braunr> hurd: /usr/share/msgids/hurd.msgids
+        <braunr> ok, glibc has none, it's the hurd
+        <braunr> for more details about the output, read the source code
+        <braunr> it shouldn't be that hard to grasp
+        <mcsim> -I /usr/share/msgids helped
+        <mcsim> thank you
+        <braunr> it shouldn't have, it's the default path
+        <mcsim> but symbolic names appeared
+        <braunr> well, that's weird :)
+        <pinotree> braunr: the output of rpctrace --help should tell the
+          default dir for msgids
