Hello net people:

	We have increased our ulimit on our AT&T 3B2/300 70meg 2meg machine
with the following C program /bin/login.  The original /bin/login was moved
to /bin/login2:  The program works.

		#include <stdio.h>
		main(argc,argv)
		char **argv;
		{
		char *ptr;
		char *largs[3];
		char logname[64];
		largs[0] = "login";
		largs[1] = strncpy(logname,argv[1],64);
		largs[2] = NULL;
		ulimit(2,32768);
		execv("/bin/login2",largs);
		}

	Now, when I atempt to use "at", even with a simple {echo "burp"} I
recive the following error in my mail and the command does not execute:

		sh: Bad ulimit
		
		
		*************************************************
		Cron: The previous message is the standard output
		      and standard error of one of your cron commands.

	Also, when we increased our ulimit crypt began to give us a
"crypt: cannot generate key" error.  I don't know if this is related?
Does anyone out there have a solution?

				Thank you,
