last time i set the limits in /etc/login.conf, i couldn't start the X server (not enough memory allocation). i don't want to repeat my previous mistake as to start X again it involved 2-3 reboots. a few minutes ago, netscape 4.79 swelled to about >500M in both SIZE and RES as indicated by top(1) (everything slowed, had to kill it). i had read the man pages for limits, my shell (bash), and login.conf. in login.conf, everything is unlimited; current limits are... cputime infinity secs filesize infinity kb datasize 524288 kb stacksize 65536 kb coredumpsize infinity kb memoryuse infinity kb memorylocked infinity kb maxprocesses 1861 openfiles 3722 sbsize infinity bytes will (top(1)) "RES" be affected by changing (login.conf(5)) "memoryuse" and "memorylocked" eventually, and "SIZE" by "datasize", "filesize", and "stacksize"? how should i start setting/testing resource limits again? - parv -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
