Sorry, I can't help you about the disk problem, but I think I can steer
you in the right direction about your ulimit problem.  Changing ulimit on
ISC requires two changes: one in the normal location (ie, sdevices or mdevices
I can't offhand remember which) PLUS a file called /etc/default/login.
Unfortunately, I dont have my system conveniently near as I'm typing this.
I believe there's a file in /etc with the letters "login" somewhere in the
file name.  It defines various login type limitations such as whether or
not root can log on from another location other than the console.  BTW,
this IS documented in the system guide manual.  Reference page 63 (section
1.4.5) of the Version 2.2.1 Release Notes.

Good luck,
