Unix 5.4 and ulimit

[Christian Seyb]

Hello,

I am using Unix 5.4 (4.0.2) and have a problem with ulimit.

in /etc/default/login I have the following entry:
ULIMIT=99999

This should give every user (also uucico and news) a very high ulimit.
The problem is, that this doesn't work. The default ulimit is still
2MB for any user logging in. I also tried to change the default value
of ulimit in /etc/conf/mtune - without any change to the behaviour of
ulimit.

For normal users the solution is easy - I just set the desired ulimit
in $HOME/.profile. For programs like uucico, this is not possible.

Any suggestions?

regards Christian
