can single step as root but debugger halts if not root

[tootall79@gmail.com]

codelite 10 on freebsd 11 all working great if logged in as root. cannot start LLDB thread when logged in as tim. When logged in as tim
codelite works FINE in all other ways except single step debug. Projects compiles and run both release and debug and perform as designed.

Here is debug log for WORKING, followed by NOT WORKING
WORKING
here I am logged in as root
[18:25:04:344 DBG] codelite-lldb: running debugger. tty=/tmp/pts6
[18:25:04:344 DBG] codelite-lldb: target working directory is set to: /media/FATSD29/Houston/wkspc/free/dev/clangCon/Debug

from here single stepping works as expected.

NOT WORKING

It looks like that the normal user has no permissions to ptrace the debugee process.

Hi Eran, thanks! I had system hardening turned on, and it can be reversed easily enough

codelite is GREAT! https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/59604/

SOLVED but I don't see how to officially mark it.
