Thank you for quick and clear reply. (After reading my own mail i must say i said confusing things in the line of 'how to query running process' and 'how i could ask system', what i meant actually was just to get to know what are the limits in effect.) Generally i would feel more comfortable if i could check if limits that are set actually took effect. So may i ask if there are any plans to introduce this? And i am sorry being just OpenBSD user i most probably dont realize what work it takes to implement this. Best regards, Imre
