GDB usage when not installed by root

- Subject: GDB usage when not installed by root
I have gdb running on Solaris 8 (built in 64 bit mode "-m64"). It is
installed in /usr/local/ by a specific non root account and group (example uid
- builder, group tester). This is deliberately set up so that the external
application maintainers do not have to have root access on the corporate
servers.
When I run gdb against a test file in my home directory (as myself not
builder), the gdb seems to work correctly. However, when another user (who is
not a member of the tester group) attempts to use gdb, it is unable to insert
a breakpoint on a test file that he has created and compiled himself in his
home directory. He is also not able to insert the breakpoint in the test file
that I built in my home directory nor am I able to insert a breakpoint in the
test application that he built in his home area.
Is there a specific setting that I must use when installing gdb in order for
the breakpoint logic to work properly for all users?
Please respond directly to me as well as to the mailing list as I cannot
normally access the mailing list.
