No, it is where the program that failed was launched from, which could be pretty much anywhere.

find / -name core

Will tell you where they are.

Pedro --

If you are talking about the system crash files that end up in /var/adm/crash by default, the answer is yes.

Modify the file /etc/rc.config.d/savecrash.

Uncomment and modify the line:

# SAVECRASH_DIR=/var/adm/crash

to something like:

SAVECRASH_DIR=/mydumpplace/crash

Best regards,
