Now, I've read through this forum and I realized that there are a lot of very intelligent people that read here. So I'm positive you guys can help me with my question.

Question: I own and run a MUD based off of SWR 1.0 and I have always fixed bugs that the compiler gave me. But now, I have have a problem. Everything compiles alright, and thats okay, but when people try to long in as one of my races it doesn't work. I'm not asking for help on this (not just yet anyway) but I'm asking if anyone could tell me how to use a debugger. I've never acually used one so I don't really know how to work it. My server is Unix, so I'm sure its GNU or something like that. Anyways, if you could post some basic instructions here then that would be great.

Thanks for all of you help! :)
