This is definitely attach to process. Obviously if you start the process you
would be allowed to debug it. The problem occurs when you attach to a process
not yours. It would be good to be able to sign in as that process owner, or as
root in order to debug it. This security feature was recently added in Linux
kernels to stop crackers from attacking to root processes and thereby gaining
control of a computer.  It's a good idea, except sometimes it isn't a good
idea, like when you want to debug the program.
