Wait a minute, didn't we just have this discussion about setuid script not dumping core? (I know we did, I stuck my neck out at got it wrung abit..) Actually what it turns out to be is a process where the ruid != euid the system won't dump core for it.. So if the Solaris login is dumping core when someone envokes in on the command line, it must be doing a setuid(0) early in the code.. I wonder why? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Christopher A. Stewart | (Standard disclaimers are in effect) System/Network Adminstrator | Legent Corp.
