Hi,
apps crashes are generating coredumps on /var/cache/abrt/* ; since I
won't debug them myself and won't send them anywhere because they're too
big, I would like to turn them off. I tried uncommenting
#* soft core 0
on /etc/security/limits.conf but it did not work, coredumps were still
being generated.
I believe you need to reboot for that to take effect.
Then I tried to set
MaxCrashReportsSize = 0
directly on /etc/abrt/abrt.conf, restarted abrtd but it didn't work
either (oddly enough abrt-gui doesn't allow changing this setting, "ok"
button is disabled -- not even if I run it as root).
So, as a last resource I created a script on /etc/cron.daily to get rid
of the coredumps, but I'd rather not create them in the first place.
Anyone could give a hand?
Well, you should also, as root:
echo 'fs.suid_dumpable = 0' >> /etc/sysctl.conf
sysctl -p
That prevents suid programs from creating core files. You should
also make sure that there is a line to the effect:
ulimit -S -c 0 >/dev/null 2>&1
is in /etc/profile so that all users have a core file dump limit size
of 0 bytes.
