core.45**** files

[AlexCl]

Hi guys,

In one of my Cpanel accounts I've noticed that 20 146 MB files appeared out of nowhere. They're are named core.45**** . They were all created at the same time. I have no idea How they got there. Can anyone help ?

My server is running Cloudlinux + Cpanel.

Thanks.

Home » Server Configuration » Tweak Settings, Security tab:

Generate core dumps [?]
Allow WHM/Webmail/cPanel services to create core dumps for debugging purposes. Core dumps often contain sensitive information but may be necessary for debugging certain types of service crashes.

Is that enabled?

Hi Infopro,

No it's not enabled. Should it be ?

Thanks for the reply.

Mine is not. I'm not sure if this thread is of any use to you or not, its years old:
