There are a lot of tangential issues (like limits) that were traditionally
controlled by the authentication "stack" on unix. PAM allows you to
replace all of this, so there are indeed PAM modules that control limits.
Thank you all for your answers.
I added 'ulimit -c 0' to /etc/profile but I am not completely happy
with this. Why do I have to change anything? I always thought not
alowing core dumps would be the default behaviour.
I guess KDE's crash handler could also responsible for changing the
core dump limit. I'll have a look.
