core dump directory

[David Ball]

Hi,

        I made a typo in newsfeeds.conf and caused dnews to crash. When it crashes 
it does a core dump. Unfortunately, it does it to the /usr/local/dnews 
directory. This can be a BIG PROBLEM since it came within 40 megs of 
filling the  /  partition and crashing linux. Is there any way to cause 
core dumps to go to the spool directory. There are gigabytes of room there, 
but the /usr  directory is on a much smaller partition. Turning the core 
dump off completely would also be a solution.
