I modified the file /etc/security/limits.conf so that my username would be allowed to create large files (download 700MB iso images). Other users are restricted to 40 MB. The line I added was... dwoods hard fsize 700000 The question is "how do I tell the system about this change *without* rebooting the server ?" P.S. I did go ahead and reboot (after 42 days of uptime), but then had some network problems to fix. So I still want an answer for the next time I make changes. Thanks... Dan.
