Basically when a process crashes on Unix from a segmentation fault (or
for a couple of other reasons) the operating system can take a
snapshot of the memory of the process and write it to a "core" file.
Whether the OS will actually do this is controlled by things like the
RLIMIT_CORE which can be set with "ulimit -c" and in the case of Linux
by some stuff in /proc.

See http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-4897 for more details.


Ok.

So I put the following into the startup script of the samba daemon and assume this works:

> ulimit -H -c unlimited
> echo "/var/log/coredumps/core.%e.%p" > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern

Nonetheless I'm getting no coredumps what makes me think about whether samba really crashes.

If it does, will it be restarted automatically? I couldn't find a reason for that within the Debian startup scripts.
