Yep, /etc/profile is taken care of. Here's output from ulimit -a : core file size (blocks, -c) unlimited data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited file size (blocks, -f) unlimited max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 1024 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 1024 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited This is in the current shell I am running programs from. It will not produce a core dump file. The fault says : Segmentation fault (core dumped) So its trying to dump, but.....no file. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jag" <agrajag@dragaera.net> To: <redhat-devel-list@redhat.com> Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2002 7:29 PM Subject: Re: How to get RedHat 8.0 to allow core dump files > On Thu, 2002-12-12 at 18:54, Dan Winslow wrote: > > Platform is a fresh install of RedHat 8.0.
