How about "max memory size" and "max virutal memory" that you can set, too? My /etc/login.conf (from -stable a few weeks ago) has one memory limit still set for root. vm.maxdsize sounds like the FreeBSD option MAXDFLSIZ which you can set in your kernel configuration. See LINT for an example. > What am I missing? I must be able to run a 130 MB program on a 160 MB > system:) Yeah, sure. The default constants for i386 systems seems to limit text size to 128 MByte, but if you really need that large programs you can increase that in your kernel configuration. :-) Stefan. -- Stefan Eggers Lu4 yao2 zhi1 ma3 li4, Max-Slevogt-Str. 1 ri4 jiu3 jian4 ren2 xin1. 51109 Koeln Federal Republic of Germany To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
