Raising the datasize limit/ulimit system wide.

Managers,
        Those of you who read my SUMMARY for the compiling error all ready know
what I'm going to ask. My system has a default datasize (limit/ulimit -a) of
131072KB. I have many users, that will be compiling large binaries which
WILL exceed this default datasize. (High energy physics research requires
large binaries to collect and analyze vast amounts of data.) So here's my
questions.

How can I raise that default datasize globally?
Where is it located or what command do I have to use?
Is it like AIX where I can just edit a file?

(The answers were not in the Prentice/Hall book that educated me about the
"csh" limit command, this time.)

UNIX is very user friendly, It's just very particular about who it makes
friends with.
