Hi,

I've observed that these days most of the Linux distributors disable core
dump when the programs SIGSEGV.

Workaround is to use `ulimit -c unlimited`;

But this setting doesn't get retained after a reboot.
I'm sure there must be a specific config file where such settings are
defined.

Does anyone know of it ?

PS: Please don't tell me to put the command in rc.local or write a small
script to accomplish it. I'm interested in finding out the standard way of
getting it done.


Thanks,
Ritesh

Agreed.

I'm interested in knowing how to keep these settings permanent.
