Earliest I had at hand to test. root@frosties:~# ulimit -n 1000 root@frosties:~# ulimit -n 1000 limit: setrlimit failed: operation not permitted root@frosties:~# ulimit -n 1000 limit: setrlimit failed: operation not permitted Once setting a limit with ulimit fails all further attempts to set a limit will also fail. But only in zsh. Works fine in bash. Interestingly this only happens if zsh is used as root. It does not happen if zsh is used as non-root user. Retitling accordingly. I've found this behaviour in at least Squeeze, Wheezy and Testing/Sid. Will test Experimental later today, too. If I find it there, too, I'll forward it to upstream. I believe that as non root there first is a check that the limit is not raised above the current value. Only root is allowed to do that. So it fails at a different place, maybe even already in zsh.
