Most UNIX variants disable core dumps in programs that have changed their
uid or euid during operation.  This includes Solaris and Linux.

Well, squid does exactly that. How can I still get a coredump? I really
need one. Kernel 2.6.11.7

Not in stock kernel, no. There's a patch in -ac series which implements 'suid_dumpable' attribute. It is included with RedHat kernels I think. The fun stuff is that I wasn't able to use the functionality anyway (i had similar but a bit worse problem) -- regardless of how hard i tried, it didn't produce any core dumps ;)

/mjt

P.S.  Hi, Ralf! The world is too small! ;)
