In fact that sounds great... I believe you can use ulimit -c unlimited... My only question (if anyone knows off hand), is how to apply the ulimit setting to an application that is started via a sticky bit... Who's ulimit is actually used? The user or the sticky bit? And if its the sticky bit, how do i check / modify it? Thanks, Ben
