If you simply want to grant unrestricted permissions for gdb to attach to any process, you don't need to grant full sudo to it. By default, as a security measure, on ubuntu gdb is restricted from tracing processes running by a different uid. You can disable this security measure via normal sysctl measures, for more details see: http://askubuntu.com/questions/41629/after-upgrade-gdb-wont-attach-to-process Are there any other reasons why you want to run gdb as root from eclipse?
