Obviously, but if any limits are applied during the login process, the ulimit command from the shell will show them. Note also "ulimit -Ha" shows all hard limits, while "ulimit -a" or "-Sa" shows the soft limits. Anyway, I'm not sure about FreeBSD, but on my NetBSD machine, when listing the hard limits, you do get to see concrete numbers in most/all cases where that makes sense. -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert -- You author it, and I'll reader it. \X/ rhialto/at/xs4all.nl -- Cetero censeo "authored" delendum esse. _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
