setrlimit failure on login

2007-12-25 11:34:00

HI all,\

well, I am sending the summary kind of early since I am losing use of my system

for a while. Basically the consensus was to check whether there was a ulimit ot

limit statemtn in the users' config files ("dot" files). There may be something

in there that causes my problem.

Resources he may be limiting are below:

cputime unlimited

filesize unlimited

datasize 524280 kbytes

stacksize 8192 kbytes

coredumpsize 16000 kbytes

memoryuse unlimited

descriptors 250

Also, suggested a test between working users' files and failing environment.
