Hello.
I have found the following strange bahavoiur of ulimit.
As normal user I can increase the stack size once but not twice:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ulimit -s
8192
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ulimit -s 20000
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ulimit -s 30000
bash: ulimit: stack size: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted
For comparision after a new login I can do:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ulimit -s
8192
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ulimit -s 20000
I can not imagige that this is ok. I guess a normal user should not be
allowed to increase the stack size.
The sytem is Linux (Ubuntu).
Do you what happens and why?
Best wishes
Andreas Klein
