Dear list, I am confused... I am running two debian boxes with woody, but one has a ulimit -u (max user proc) of 7168, and the other of 256. (both as root).... the difference does not appear to be in login.defs or /etc/security/limits. Does anyone have any ideas where I should look... diff -r /etc /etcother didnt seem to show any important diffeneces.. Thanks for your help, Andrew
