How do you force a program to core dump?
I get some segfault 11 when trying to start windowmaker, and would like it
to core dump to possibly debug it. I'm not a programmer or a guru, and just
learning gdb. I'm currenty running Mandrake, and get no core dumps for any

See /etc/inittab and search for an entry like this ...
xt:5:respawn:/opt/X11R6/GNUstep/Apps/Login.app/Login
... where what's xt: here must read pa. respawn means
re-start as soon as the process has died. Since squid
in /usr/man/man4 is hardly an executable init is trying
very hard but gives up after a time.
You can put a # in front of the line, then (as root)
run /sbin/telinit q to re-read /etc/inittab.
Then you can hunt down the problem since as long as
you don't remove the # init isn't going to try that
line again.

It's a httpd proxy cache server and yes, at times one uses
a special account like httpd here for my, well, httpd server.
It's just so the uid for that one exists and those accounts
don't have a $HOME or so.

OK, but imagine if some scripts run via cron with root permissions and
redirect something to /dev/null, I can't imagine anyone doing test -e for
/dev/null?
.../dev/null is full...:-)

Old one, ulimit -c unlimited ought to do the job, but you need to add it
to your .profile (or .bash_profile) for instance.
Some applications still may not write a core for either they inhibit it
for security reasons or they do a chdir() and the directory is not writable
by you.
Learning gdb though using a X application you don't know yourself ? Okay ;-)

Scripts run with root permissions need to be in root's crontab and if
root's crontab is writable by everyone, then the one deserves to have

What does your /etc/nsswitch.conf look like ?
##
# /etc/nsswitch.conf

Yes, yes, the thought was, that some one as root, or using sudo (on corporate machines
there
are often more than a single person with root access),
accidentliy deleted /dev/null, and scripts that run every day from cron, since long
time
could fill up your disk....

chmod s+g the directory (or maybe 2770 permission at least). Then files
should have the group of that directory. However, depending upon your
umask the person who originally creates a file might need to give the file
g+w permission (unless your umask is 002 like on RedHat). Once a file has
group write permission, anyone else in the group should be able to write
to or delete it, even though the ownership might change.
Note, it is probably best not to set your umask to 002 if all users are in
the same group, only if each user has their own group like on RH. To set
a umask, you probably need to use the octal (like: umask 0002 or 0022)).

Thanks for the suggestion. If you have any other suggestions about how to

"linear" will NOT allow you to boot above cylinder 1024. Use "lba32" to boot
above cylinder 1024.
The new motherboard may have mapped the drive geometry differently from the
old. Boot from the CDROM, then re-install the lilo bootloader: "/sbin/lilo".

Subject: No web based administration of cups
Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2001 01:05:54 +0100
Hallo,
I have installed cups.1.1.6-3 on a SUSE 7.0-Linux-system from
sourcepackage.
After doing ./configure, make, make install and configuration, my
cups-system is working
and I can print on my printers.
But if I want to administrate via the link "Do Administration Tasks" on
the http://localhost:631 I get the message "The document contained no
data. Try again later, or contact the server's administrator" The
cupsd.conf seems to be o.k.
What else can I check for?
Frank.
