Either my replies aren't getting through to bugtraq, or people are just ignoring them. As of FreeBSD 2.1.6 and newer versions, we don't core dump for setuid processes. It's been this way for nearly a year in -current, but the change didn't get merged into the 2.1.x branch until after the 2.1.5 release...that was an oversight. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
