Look in the setup for the defaults for login. If your system is similar to my AT&T SVR4 there will be a line reading ULIMIT=2xxx, meaning 2MB file limit. Comment out the line. Why ULIMIT appears there, in addition to the system config area, is a mystery. Joe D.

Hello! I would like to know if any other UHC SVR4 users out there have had difficulty changing the maximum (soft and hard) file size a process may create. I am running UHC SVR4.2.0. I used idtune to change the values of SFSZLIM and HFSZLIM accordingly then called idbuild to remake the kernel. Everything compiled fine and the new kernel was installed successfully. However, when I try something like: %cat foo1 big-foo2 ... > REALLY-big-foo it must be the case that cat have setuid permissions set (i.e. 4755 etc) Still other functions like kermit (not part of the UHC distribution) will not allow large files EVEN with setuid set. I figure I have, at some point, taken the wrong turn in the road!! Any help/advice/etc would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks in advance! doug anson danson@dewey.udel.edu Univ of Del ASEL
