patch to /etc/profile to set the core to the new maximum (package setup)
only tested with the i686 enterprise kernel Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/ |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; Q312461; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) Description of problem: when normal user logs in /etc/profile (as on the default setup package for RedHat 6.2) runs and try to setup ulimit -c 1000000, the hardlimit is set to 500000, so this call always fails with the following message: ulimit: cannot raise limit: Operation not permitted Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. login as root 2. su -l ${NORMALUSER} 3. Actual Results: ulimit: cannot raise limit: Operation not permitted Expected Results: no error Additional info: considering that an error message is being shown on what is a normal procedure that was working before the kernel upgrade, a patch to fix the /etc/profile to reflect this new core size limit should be applied on postinstallation or the core size kept as it was before.
