by I am trying to debug an app that starts as root and changes to another (less
privileged) userid. The app is core dumping but not generating a core file.
Is this simply a matter of mucking with ulimit? I have been led to believe
that Linux doesn't like dumping core from root (for security reasons) even if
it has since changed id. Is this true?
I could really use some help on this. I have scoured the newsgroups, how-tos,
and web pages without anything definitive.
Thanks,
