Hi All,
 
I want to run valgrind on my executable and I run the command as
follows.
 
"valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=yes --show-reachable=yes
--log-file=/var/lib/ipa/valgrindLog
/usr/lib/ipaccess/bsc/bin/access_generic -db AccessBscDbWorking -log
/var/lib/ipaccess"
 
where,
access_generic is the executable,
-db is the option for database name
AccessBscDbWorking is the database name,
-log is the option for log
/var/lib/ipaccess is the folder where all the log files will be stored.
 
But I am getting error as 
 
"Privilege drop failed: capset: Operation not permitted"
 
and the execution aborts.
 
The operating system that I am running this program is RHEL 2.6.9-42.EL.
 
Could somebody help me on this subject.
Your response will be appreciated.
 
Regards,
Ravi R.S
