The core file is dumped by some process that got killed by the kernel for doing something illegal. Next time you get a core file, you can tell which process is doing by running the command "file /core".

Since you have 10.20 there is probably nothing you can do to fix the problem of dumping the core, however you can do something to prevent the creation of the core file.

Create a subdirectory in / by the same name, That is

"mkdir /core"

Next time a process wants to dumpo a core file it will not be able to.

As mentioned, you must identify the program that is crashing and creating the core file. Then fix the program. If it cannot be fixed, then the program must be started in another directory. The "/" directory is the worst possible location to start a program.

It is not necessary to create a /core directory. Instead, make sure that when the program runs, the option

ulimit -c 0

is part of the program's environment.
