Allowing core dumps will enable failed applications to dump a copy of |
| 9 |
their memory to disk; generally this only causes issues if you're |
| 10 |
disk-space sensitive. It can also be an issue for applications that |
| 11 |
hold sensitive data (like passwords) in-memory. |

If you can, yes - just ignore the RLIMIT_CORE ones. You probably want |
| 14 |
to find out why applications are trying to dump, but the messages are |
| 15 |
a symptom rather than the cause. |
