Bug 1977722

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1977572 +++

Description of problem:

radiusd in RHEL8 canno coredump.


I allowed radiusd coredump in radiusd.conf.

  -- /etc/raddb/radiusd.conf --
        allow_core_dumps = yes

In the systemd configuration, the core rlimit is unlimited.

  -- /etc/systemd/system.conf --
  DefaultLimitCORE=infinity

However, when I checked the rlimit of the process, it was 0 for both soft and hard.

I checked it in debug mode, and it throws the following error:

  main {

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8
- freeradius-3.0.20-3.module+el8.3.0+7597+67902674


How reproducible:

- Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Edit the following line in /etc/raddb/radiusd.conf

  -- /etc/raddb/radiusd.conf --
        allow_core_dumps = yes

2. Start radiusd service

  # systemctl start radiusd
  
3. Check rlimits with prlimit

  # prlimit -c -p <radiusd's pid>


Actual results:

- radiusd cannot coredump.

Expected results:

- radiusd can coredump.


Additional info:

- radiusd cannot coredump in RHEL8 GA(freeradius-3.0.17-3.module+el8+2746+2e560403)
   through the latest RHEL8.3(freeradius-3.0.20-3.module+el8.3.0+7597+67902674).
