Ahh, you are right, that solves the xdm problem. ulimit -v is what I wanted. I missed this because I use tcsh which doesn't seem to have an analog of this limit using its built-in limit command. Is there a way to set a limit on virtual memory use within tcsh? And is there a natural place to put a ulimit -v command for ssh logins? Somewhere that can't be overridden by users and which works for users who use tcsh? Thanks for the help! Dan -- Dan Christensen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
