Ques. about remote debugging using gdb

[David McCarthy]

I am trying to debug a program on my client's site. So, in order to get the gdb shell fired up on the client machine, I have to invoke a shell command to telnet to machine A, and then telnet to another machine B from machine A. Then, I can start gdb on machine B and debug.

From what I understand about ddd, it should not care so much as to how many machines I have to telnet thru as long as it gets the gdb prompt and it takes over from there.

So, is there a way to tell ddd to invoke a remote shell, and hand over the control to me i.e. let me login to machine B before trying to launch gdb in that shell.

Any suggestions/pointers are greatly appreciated...
