Dear alpha friends,
I just noticed that once I switched from my normal uid to root using
/usr/bin/su -
I still have my original limits and I cannot raise them even if root's
limits are higher.
I use C2 on my Dunix 4.0d machines.
My root account has no limits (that is they are all unlimited) while
my normal account has some limits (cputime, memoryuse,vmemoryse ...)
Since I use C2 and I do not allow remote login for root, I cannot
login as user and then /usr/ to get full root limits.
I see only two ways to gain full root limits:
1) go to console and login from there as root.
2) high my user's limits but I would like to avoid that.
Do you see any other way to gain full root limits NOT being at the
console and still using C2 ?
P.S. It seems that when you su - you always get the minimum
among your limits and the destination account limits. Is that
true?
Thank you very much,
Emanuele
