The presence of gpg key disables ulimit and coredump in X11 session
Closed, WontfixPublic
Actions

Description

After gpg key generation, coredumps are disabled as "ulimit -c" is set to zero via the gpg-agent, see SUSE bug [0]. Could the disable_core_dumps() call be securely moved to the fork code path? See the patch in [1] and the comments about [2].

Since 2.1 the standard use of gpg-agent is to have it started on demand by the components which require it. The use of
"gpg-agent --daemon /bin/sh " should be used for debugging only.
