Keywords: set ulimit in /etc/defaults/login


   Thanks to all the people who replied to my posting.  The solution is
to have 'ULIMIT=xxxx' in the /etc/defaults/login file, where xxxx is the
number of 512 bytes blocks (ie. 2048 for every megabyte).  Several people
suggested short C programs that changed the ulimit and then ran a shell,
but these had to be be run as suid root, and I have a feeling they would
have created some security holes that I didn't want to deal with.  Anyway,
the solution above works, which is all I needed.
