I believe that will prevent the user from being able to create core
files. Try this instead:
<user> soft core unlimited
<user> hard core unlimited
Keep in mind that limits.conf is only applied to logins. If you're
running the apps from init scripts, modify them to include the following
lines prior to launching the apps:
ulimit -Sc unlimited
ulimit -Hc unlimited
