Alternative is actually nicer; the new kernel can actually pipe coredumps to a program, that can just take care of all this from the start; no audit things needed whatsoever; that'd just be pointless overhead. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
