I've never used mdb on solaris, but its where I first learned of strace (and ptrace) - which unlocked soooo much of how unix worked for me, and lead me down the path to unix wizardy (well, that and access to open source code bases). in fact, when i started reading this, it's where I thought it was headed (in fact, I think could have come to the conclusion quicker than trying to read mdb)
