Last time I had a problem like this I spent a lot of time googling

This time I run "ulimit -v unlimited", but the question is who put
the former values there? Some hard-coded default? I couldn't find
anything in init scripts nor in bash rc files. I know that on
logout
the value is lost (I had to run ulimit again on chrooting). What is
the appropriate file to put "ulimit -v unlimited" in? Perhaps
~/.bash_profile? And how can root set different hard limits for
different users? Maybe some bash guru will step in?:)
probably rc.conf, or maybe login.defs depending on per user/or
everyone
It seems rc.conf has a variable for ulimit -u, not for the other
flags.
login.defs has ULIMIT but teh man page just says "Default ulimit
value"
Ah well...
In /etc/security/limits.conf you can put any limits that can be set
using ulimit command so they are kept between reboots.
