Set "ulimit -c"

Hi,

on my Suse system, I try to set "ulimit -c" as normal user:

$ ulimit -c 1024
-bash: ulimit: core file size: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted

Doing so as root works fine.

In /etc/security/limits.conf I configured PAM:

* soft core 10240
* hard core 10240

and in /etc/profile:

ulimit -Sc 10240

(/etc/login.defs has no entries concerning ulimit)

However, I still can't set the core dump size. Any
ideas how to fix it?

Regards,
Chris
