strcmp core dumps

hi everyone, Right now when I do: strcmp(s1, s2); i get a core dump because at times s1 or s2 can be nothing so that makes strcmp() core dump. What is the solution, if at times I expect one of them (or both) to be NULL? I want to be able to compare that s1 is NULL and s2 is "blah" or...

Using GDB to analyse different CORE dumps

Hi, Can we modify the GDB source code so as to analyze core dumps from different targets? From my analysis, I think we need to build our section table statically for each target. i.e., including the various address boundaries in build_section_table() function. If this is the case, then the GDB...

core dumps

i had a situation where a process was defunct. preap would not reap the process and gcore would not work properly (not sure why). therefore, the suggestion was to force a panic and collect the core dump. obviously you could do a savecore -L and capture the dump without bringing down the system....

pam-auth-update

PAM-AUTH-UPDATE(8)					      System Manager's Manual						PAM-AUTH-UPDATE(8)

NAME

       pam-auth-update - manage PAM configuration using packaged profiles

SYNOPSIS

       pam-auth-update [--package [--remove profile [profile...]]]  [--force]

DESCRIPTION

       pam-auth-update	is  a utility that permits configuring the central authentication policy for the system using pre-defined profiles as sup-
       plied by PAM module packages.  Profiles shipped in the /usr/share/pam-configs/ directory specify the modules, with options, to enable;  the
       preferred ordering with respect to other profiles; and whether a profile should be enabled by default.  Packages providing PAM modules reg-
       ister their profiles at install time by calling pam-auth-update --package.  Selection of profiles is done using the standard debconf inter-
       face.   The  profile  selection	question  will be asked at `medium' priority when packages are added or removed, so no user interaction is
       required by default.  Users may invoke pam-auth-update directly to change their authentication configuration.

       The script makes every effort to respect local changes to /etc/pam.d/common-*.  Local modifications to the list of module options  will	be
       preserved, and additions of modules within the managed portion of the stack will cause pam-auth-update to treat the config files as locally
       modified and not make further changes to the config files unless given the --force option.

       If the user specifies that pam-auth-update should override local configuration  changes,  the  locally-modified	files  will  be  saved	in
       /etc/pam.d/ with a suffix of .pam-old.

OPTIONS

       --package
	      Indicate	that  the  caller is a package maintainer script; lowers the priority of debconf questions to `medium' so that the user is
	      not prompted by default.

       --remove profile [profile...]
	      Remove the specified profiles from the system configuration.  pam-auth-update --remove should be used to remove  profiles  from  the
	      configuration before the modules they reference are removed from disk, to ensure that PAM is in a consistent and usable state at all
	      times during package upgrades or removals.

       --force
	      Overwrite the current PAM configuration, without prompting.  This option must not be used  by  package  maintainer  scripts;  it	is
	      intended for use by administrators only.

FILES

       /etc/pam.d/common-*
	   Global configuration of PAM, affecting all installed services.

       /usr/share/pam-configs/
	   Package-supplied authentication profiles.
