Ulimit

[Ramiro Brito Willmersdorf <rbw@demec.ufpe.br>]

Hi,

I'm running kde on debian woody.
Where can I change my resource limits?
I'm having problems with some programs that I think might be
caused by having ulimit set to:

3|rbw@lyra01:rbw $ulimit -s
8196
4|rbw@lyra01:rbw $

I tried: 

1) Editing /etc/security/limits.conf, addind the line:

rbw              soft    stack           unlimited

And checking that both /etc/pam.d/{kde,login} have the line
below uncommented.

session    required     pam_limits.so

2) When the above failed, I tried to set it directly
by adding the line 

ulimit -s unlimited 

to /etc/X11/Xsession, but that didn't work either.
I still have the stack size set to 8M.

I'd be grateful for any help.

Many thanks,
