AIX - Core dump when using mkuser
Hi all,
I've got a strange problem here that is not documented in AIX FAQs and tech docs, and I was wondering if somebody out there encountered the same issue or had an idea to help me out.
I'm using a script to create users with the "mkuser" command. I can set up any options I want (like "home", "maxage", maxexpired", etc.) and everything works fine... except when I add the option to set a password history limitation ("histsize"), in which case the system core dumps when trying to execute my script.
My exact line is the following :
mkuser groups=oper,$c_groupuser pgrp=oper home=/home/users/oper maxage=5 maxexpired=1 loginretries=3 minlen=6 maxrepeats=1 histsize=12 $v_userLogin 1>/tmp/$v_fichiertmp1 2>/tmp/$v_fichiertmp2
Can somebody help me ?
Thanks for your time,
Eric.

NAME
core_addshmem_read - determines the inclusion of readable shared memory in a process core dump
VALUES
Failsafe
Default
Allowed values
or
DESCRIPTION
The tunable was added in response to a problem where a customer was limited in debugging a user-level process crash because shared memory
segments were not written as part of the core file.
Upon core dump, the sections of user memory labeled as shared read-only are written (along with the normal data sections) if this tunable
is set to and left out if it is set to
Who is Expected to Change This Tunable?
Anyone.
Restrictions on Changing
Changes to this tunable take effect immediately.
When Should the Value of This Tunable Be Raised?
When you wish to include read-only shared memory segments in user core files due to debugging needs by developers or maintainers on the
system.
What Are the Side Effects of Raising the Value?
User process core files would increase in most cases (most applications use at least some shared memory). This could be a problem on sys-
tems where disk space is at a premium.
When Should the Value of This Tunable Be Lowered?
When there is no need for debugging core files where shared memory corruption or data values are in question.
What Are the Side Effects of Lowering the Value?
Core files will tend to be smaller.
What Other Tunable Values Should Be Changed at the Same Time?
Certainly think about which does the same thing for read/write shared memory segments.
