Hi

The following is aon 5.3-RELEASE-p5

If I do a limits command I get

# limits
Resource limits (current):
   cputime          infinity secs
   filesize         infinity kb
   datasize           524288 kb
   stacksize           65536 kb
   coredumpsize     infinity kb
   memoryuse        infinity kb
   memorylocked     infinity kb
   maxprocesses         5547
   openfiles           11095
   sbsize           infinity bytes
   vmemoryuse       infinity kb
#

However, login.conf has (and no other classes defined)


default:\
         :passwd_format=md5:\
         :copyright=/etc/COPYRIGHT:\
         :welcome=/etc/motd:\
         :setenv=MAIL=/var/mail/$,BLOCKSIZE=K,FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES:\
         :path=/sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/games /usr/local/sbin 
/usr/local/bin /usr/X11R6/bin ~/bin:\
         :nologin=/var/run/nologin:\
         :cputime=unlimited:\
         :datasize=unlimited:\
         :stacksize=unlimited:\
         :memorylocked=unlimited:\
         :memoryuse=unlimited:\
         :filesize=unlimited:\
         :coredumpsize=unlimited:\
         :openfiles=unlimited:\
         :maxproc=unlimited:\
         :sbsize=unlimited:\
         :vmemoryuse=unlimited:\
         :priority=0:\
         :ignoretime@:\
         :umask=022:

------

I am wondering where the datasize and stacksize get set.  These have 
limits when listed with "limits" but they do not appear to be getting 
set through login as the login.conf has unlimitged.

I have looked at the output of sysctl -a with grep for various things 
(limit, datasize, 512 524288 etc and not seen any obvious candidates)

I am trying to run stuff from the Coroner's Toolbox and am getting "Out 
of memory!" and so would like to try this with some adjusted process 
values.

Any help on where these get set and how to change them would be 
appreciated.

Thanks
Chad
