Short version: I can't tell where ulimit of "data seg size" and "virtual
memory" for a console login is getting set: I don't see the in any
startup file or login.conf, and the values I do see for an ssh connection
while under X are larger than what is in login.conf, so I'm confused.
Details: Usernames on my system who aren't in the "staff" login class
can't run "java -version" from a console login (ie not in X), and
after some digging I realized it's probably because they have these
ulimit values:
data seg size (kbytes, -d) 131072
virtual memory (kbytes, -v) 133120
But those values are not found in /etc/profile, nor in those users'
~/.profile
nor ~/.bashrc, nor does /etc/login.conf mention those ulimit values. Here's
the default section; the rest of it is as found in a stock openbsd 5.7
install:
default:\
:path=/usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/X11R6/bin
/usr/local/bin /usr/l ocal/sbin:\
:umask=022:\

There doesn't seem to be a problem, as those users show much larger
values, if I first login to the console as root, then 'su - <user>' to
the users
with the problem. It also has much larger values when I ssh from one
user to another in an xterm window and test there. These values are
larger than anything I see in login.conf, even for the 'staff' class: like,
33562624k ie 33G: I don't know where that is coming from either
as I didn't see it as defaults showing in 'man login.conf'. Oh wait, that
is roughly my ram+swap size, so maybe it uses that as a default instead
of what's in login.conf, in some situations?
Where else could these ulimit values for datasize and virtual memory
of ~133120k be coming from, and how would I change them, for
a user who is only logged in to a console (not X)? Or, is there a problem
with my use of login.conf, since at one point it seemed to matter for
opening many browser tabs in chrome, but now the value for that
user in X is so far beyond what is set there. As you see I'm confused, and
have probably done something somewhere that I've forgotten or has
escaped me.

unique; there's at least one other luke call, probably more)
