- If this option is enabled and the file /.init_enable_core
- exists, then init will call setrlimit() to allow unlimited
- core file sizes. If this option is disabled, processes
- will not generate any core files.
+ If this option is enabled, init will try to give a controlling
+ tty to any command which has leading hyphen (often it's "-/bin/sh").
+ More precisely, init will do "ioctl(STDIN_FILENO, TIOCSCTTY, 0)".
+ If device attached to STDIN_FILENO can be a ctty but is not yet
+ a ctty for other session, it will become this process' ctty.
+ This is not the traditional init behavour, but is often what you want
+ in an embedded system where the console is only accessed during
+ development or for maintenance.
+ NB: using cttyhack applet may work better.
