Reset of limits during login

[Reuti <reuti@staff.uni-marburg.de>]

Hi all,

using Debian 3.1 on an Opteron system I noticed the following:

$ ulimit -t 55
$ ulimit -aH
...
cpu time             (seconds, -t) 55
...
$ dchroot
Executing shell in 'ia32' chroot.
$ ulimit -aH
...
cpu time             (seconds, -t) unlimited


Is this intended - or where can I change it to keep the inherited  
limits? The main reason for this investigation is the loss of limits  
with SUN GridEngine (SGE) on Debian, while it is working as intended  
on SuSE. An *interactive* qrsh on Debian will get no limits (although  
defined in SGE), and it looks to me like it's the same issue in the  
end. Batch job limits are enforced also on Debian, where they work fine.

Cheers - Reuti
