Description of problem:

DAEMON_COREFILE_LIMIT='unlimited'
</snip>

# persist /etc/sysconfig/init

2. [root@rhevh1 admin]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
/var/log/core/core.%p.%t.dump

3. Rebooted the host.

<snip>
[root@rhevh1 admin]# ls -ldZ /var/log/
drwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:var_log_t:s0   /var/log/
[root@rhevh1 admin]# ls -ldZ /var/log/core/
drwxrwxrwt. root root system_u:object_r:var_log_t:s0   /var/log/core/
