Thanks to Binkley Robert - rbinkl <Robert.Binkley_at_acxiom.com> told me to
set the variable in the users startup files.
It was there, with exactly the value it seemed impossible to change..
So setting the wanted value in ~/.bashrc was all she needed.
# su - user12
~ $ ulimit -s
2000000
---------- Forwarded message ----------
One of my users need to allocate more space on the stack to run her
application (weather forecasting).
I have been running dxkerneltuner and loaded some new values into
running kernel as well into /etc/sysconfigtab.
..
Now I am able to change the stacksize as root, but not as the user:
my_machine /# ulimit -s
4294967296
my_machine /# su - user12
user12_at_my_machine ~ $ ulimit -s
128000
