ulimit problem

[Tan Wee Yeh <wire@ai101.iscs.nus.sg>]

Hi,

I'm trying to raise the ulimit as an ordinary user.
I don't seem to be able to raise any limit above some
ceiling, except when I'm root.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
bash$ ulimit -a
  ...
cpu time (seconds)       3600
  ...

bash$ ulimit -t 3601
ulimit: cannot raise limit: Operation not permitted

bash$ ulimit -t unlimited
bash$ ulimit -a
  ...
cpu time (seconds)       3600
  ...

bash$ ulimit -Ht unlimited
ulimit: cannot raise limit: Operation not permitted

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anyone knows how I can raise the limits?
It doesn't seem to be the problem with Hard/Soft
limits but more like priviledges...



Just me,
Wire ...
