I cannot get core dumps logging in under KDM in KDE 3.1.4. I cannot get the 
dang core limit raised from zero! I do not know if it is a KDM or PAM problem.

I have a freshly installed SuSE Linix Professional 9.0 system for the x86 (AMD 
Athlon) with a KDM patch applied.

I have the following RPMs installed:

kdebase3-kdm-3.1.4-36.i586.rpm 
kdebase3-kdm-3.1.4-48.i586.patch.rpm
pam-modules-9.0-5
pam-0.77-124

$ rpm -qa | grep kdm
kdebase3-kdm-3.1.4-48

I found this link on the Internet:

http://cert.uni-stuttgart.de/archive/debian/laptop/2003/06/msg00209.html

# ls -l /etc/security/limits.conf 
-r--------    1 root     root         1514 2003-11-11 19:09 /etc/security/
limits.conf

And the two lines added to it:

bobp    hard    core    60000
*       hard    core    60000

I have /etc/pam.d/xdm, /etc/pam.d/login and /etc/pam.d/other and to include

session  required       pam_limits.so   debug

I get the following output in /var/log/messages:

Nov 14 13:49:51 cueball kdm[2276]: pam_unix2: session started for user bobp, 
service xdm 
Nov 14 13:49:51 cueball pam_limits[2276]: reading settings from '//etc/
security/limits.conf'
Nov 14 13:49:51 cueball pam_limits[2276]: process_limit: processing hard core 
60000 for USER 
Nov 14 13:49:51 cueball pam_limits[2276]: process_limit: processing hard core 
60000 for DEFAULT

I have commented out the following line in /etc/profile
 
      #ulimit -Sc 0               # don't create core files

And a getrlimit(2) shows:

    RLIMIT_CORE         current =             0 max =             0

Does anyone have core dumps working under SuSE 9.0 using KDM?  Does anyone 
have any suggestions?  Thanks.  I have a trouble ticket from SuSE on this but 
no response as of yet, it is driving me crazy.  TIA.

Best Regards,
Bob Pearson
