Hi Again, As I did not receive a reply to my first post, I will assume that this is a gooder and will post it again hoping someone will take a stab at it. I have been racking what little grey-matter I have trying to sort this one out with nil luck as I also have RH6.2 at home and cannot replicate as the ulimits **are** working. This is what I am able to do at home: ========================= phil@dell1:~ > rlogin pszone Last login: Tue Jun 12 22:33:34 from dell1 You have new mail. Desktop [phil@cr714182-a phil]$ [phil@cr714182-a phil]$ ulimit -H -c file size (blocks) unlimited core file size (blocks) unlimited [phil@cr714182-a phil]$ [phil@cr714182-a phil]$ uname -rs Linux 2.2.14-5.0 [phil@cr714182-a phil]$ cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Linux release 6.2 (Zoot) [phil@cr714182-a phil]$ ============================ But at work: ============================ I'm running RedHat 6.2 in a development environment and I need to allow developers to dump core files. The problem is the default ulimit settings are different for a user when logged in directly to the console versus logged in remotely: # console login % ulimit -H -c unlimited % ulimit -S -c 1000000 # remote login % ulimit -H -c 0 % ulimit -S -c 0 ============================ The 1000000 soft limit is being set in /etc/profile, but it fails for remote logins with the message bash: ulimit: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted because the hard limit is set to 0 for a remote login, so users cannot increase it. Out of desparation, I tried setting explicit limits in /etc/security/limits.conf, but that didn't have an effect on remote logins. Does anyone know how/why/where this is set, or how I can change this behavior? BTW, I am aware that ssh works correctly with ulimit but it is rlogin that I am concerned with. Thanks in advance for your time, Phil _______________________________________________ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk
