Re: CORE dumps be gone ?

["Hall" <dhs erinet com>]

My Sparc Station at work has that setting and I asked about using this with
Linux about a year ago. Some people said it would work so I gave it a try...
>From what I can tell, it doesn't though. Then again, maybe I only added it
to my user's shell startup script. The core dumps I'm still seeing could be
caused by root. Maybe I should put it in /etc/bash_profile instead ?

Also, ulimit is no longer supported, according to its man page. As far as I
know, there's no replacement either.
