-*- emacs-wiki -*- Pluto may core dump. It will normally do so into the current working directory. The standard scripts have an option dumpdir=, which can set the current directory to determine where the core dump will go. In some cases, it may be more convenient to specify it on the command line using --coredir. A third method is to set the environment variable PLUTO_CORE_DIR. The command line argument takes precedence over the environment variable. One reason to want this is so that one can move the core dump around during test cases, where editing the ipsec.conf is not convenient.
