Subject: [gentoo-dev] best way of overriding limits for daemons started by init

1 Hi all,
2
3 I'm wondering what the best way of setting/overriding limits for daemons
4 started during system boot. I want to enable core files. Note I have
5 the symbols in the daemons I'm interested in.
6
7 I looked at /etc/limits but that file doesn't look like it is used at
8 all? /etc/security/limits.conf seems to be for logins after the system
9 is up.
10
11 The solutions I see are:
12
13 add `ulimit -c unlimited` to scripts under /etc/init.d/ This gives finer
14 control when picking what daemons to enable corefiles.
15
16 add `ulimit -c unlimited` to ebegin() in /sbin/functions.sh Any init
17 that calls ebegin() will have corefile enabled (seems to be all of them).
18
19 Is there another way?
20
21 TIA!
