If you don't need coredumps at all, you can easily disable them globally (i.e. system-wide) with this sysctl command (as root). It takes effect immediately. # sysctl kern.coredump=0 To do that automatically every time the machine boots, add this line to /etc/sysctl.conf: kern.coredump=0 Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
