Hi everyone,

is there a way to configure a location to store userland core dumps?
I'd like to store them in /tmp to keep them available only until
the next reboot. This way I can avoid having core dumps, that
sometimes I don't even know about, scattered all over my home
directory.

I've read about 'sysctl kern.nosuidcoredump' in sysctl(8), but I
believe files stored under /var/crash/${program} are persistent
after reboots, right? Also, I know I can disable them from
/etc/login.conf, but I'd prefer to keep them at least until the
next reboot just in case.

I'm sure that there must be a reason for why OpenBSD defaults to
dumping core files like it does, so please let me know if what I'm
asking is a bad idea. I would really appreciate it.

Thank you.

Kind regards,
Johannes
