I have tried the modification in "/etc/security/limits.conf", but I
think this doesn't make something on FC3.
In the description is also the Parameter sigpending not available. Is
that a BUG in FC3?
I will make now an upgrade to FC4. Maybe than it is working.
 
For Info: I'm working not directly on pc-6. I'm connected over ssh on
pc-6.
When I work directly on pc-6, than the ulimit can be modified by a local
user.
 
THX.
bye,
