I don't understand your 1.5 GB reference. I think you set the kernel maximum in /boot/loader.conf and can then set per-user limits up to that value in /etc/login.conf. IIRC the stock unmodified kernel limit is 512 MB per process, and the login.conf default is the same 512 MB. Login.conf can not override the kernel. Something like this needs to be added to /boot/loader.conf: kern.maxdsiz="3G" # think this is the absolute system per-process limit kern.dfldsiz="3G" # think this is the default per-process limit kern.maxssiz="128M" # stack size -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@HiWAAY.net ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad.
