strace can lie ... but LTT might be handy

[karym () INFO POLYMTL CA (Karim Yaghmour)]

Hello,

I recently received a forward of a message you sent on bugtraq
about strace providing inaccurate information. I see what the
problem is and I think you'd be interested to know that there's
a tool out there that'll fix the problem, the Linux Trace
Toolkit. I wrote this tool in order to be able to reconstruct
the dynamic behavior of a Linux system and it doesn't lie ;)
It tracks all important events and stores in the order they
occur in the kernel. Therefore ptrace() is not involved in any
way.

Check it out :

Please give me feedback ... it's important for any further
enhancements.

Thanks.

P.S.: I'm not on bugtraq, so please CC if you send it there.
