there no such sysctl var, i've seen some web pages talking about
kernel.suid_dumpable or kernel.core_setuid_ok bot none of them
are available on my debian, so the possible solutions are either
clear the exim suid bit or add a call to prctl with PR_SET_DUMPABLE 1
The questions are, is possible to clear the suid bit while allowing
exim to run normally ? or where should i insert the call to prtcl
so it will dump core ?

maybe, but i get no success on exim-users and as it was not related
to exim configuration and i could probably get more help from developers
than from users i also tried here.
