<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
