Re: problem with ulimit

[Matt Roth <mroth imminc com>]

Hugh,

Login as root and add the following lines to "/etc/security/limits.conf":

<username>    soft    core    unlimited
<username>    hard    core    unlimited

Then log in as <username> and use "ulimit -Sc" and "ulimit -Hc" to 
verify that both the soft and hard limits have been set to unlimited.

I hope that works for you,
