Re: Trying to use TRCINT to look at PASE processes

[Aaron Bartell <aaronbartell@xxxxxxxxx>]

Since you said "sshd" instead of "STRTCPSVR *SSHD", am I safe to assume you
are actually using the sshd command in PASE from a shell?  If so, I
recently went through an extensive PASE debugging experience** that gave me
more insight concerning how to debug PASE issues using dbx***.

**Special thanks to Tony Cairns for taking the time.  The entire experience
is documented here: http://bit.ly/ibmi-git-mmap-failed
*** http://bit.ly/aix-dbx
