where to set default ulimit values

1997-08-11 Thread Thomas Gebhardt
Hi, I am trying to enlarge the default ulimit -s (stack size) value on a debian 1.3.1 system. Obviously login isn't linked with libpam, so /etc/security/limits.conf isn't read. There is an ULIMIT entry in /etc/login.defs, but that seems to be ignored also. I can lower the ulimit -s limit in /etc/p
