I believe that the only way a core dump happens is when the "server"
doesn't recognize or has a problem with something in the program. It has
nothing to do with the person logged in or their computer. Unless the
program is calling for the person to have certian permissions, then that
could be a problem, but I'm not sure if a core dump will result. Check the
permissions on the person and what the program want's them to be. Also,
find out what the person is doing! There may be a security hole in your
program that when the person presses a wrong button, wham a core dump, or
even a root prompt. This is how a lot of hackers get into systems. They
run a file that has root as the owner, get it to core dump and it drops
them to a root prompt. This happened to me at work on an AIX machine,
eventually IBM made revisions to that version. Anyway, good luck.
