Re: ssh as user: setrlimit failed

[James Morrison <rocketmail_com@rocketmail.com>]

I have found the offending piece of code.

       original_real_uid = getuid();
        original_effective_uid = geteuid();

#ifdef HAVE_SETRLIMIT
        /* If we are installed setuid root be careful to not drop
core. */
        if (original_real_uid != original_effective_uid) {
                struct rlimit rlim;
                rlim.rlim_cur = rlim.rlim_max = 0;
                if (setrlimit(RLIMIT_CORE, &rlim) < 0)
                        fatal("setrlimit failed: %.100s",
strerror(errno));
        }
#endif

  Should GNU Hurd be changed to accomodate this or vice-versa?
