It sounds reasonable. As you see, I have asked Ian to comment on this. In the meantime I see that wether we leave it unlimited or if we limit it to say 16 MB, there is the issue that a user who may want to run slmodemd manually (like Corey does), so we can do one of two things: 1. Use Corey's patch so that the ulimit thing is done in slmodemd by itself (and hence remove the line that Ian added in the init script). 2. Add a notice in README.Debian that if the user wants to run slmodemd manually, then he has to run ulimit. -- أحمد المحمودي (Ahmed El-Mahmoudy) Digital design engineer GPG KeyID: 0x9DCA0B27 (@ subkeys.pgp.net) GPG Fingerprint: 087D 3767 8CAC 65B1 8F6C 156E D325 C3C8 9DCA 0B27 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
