I have tried the
modification in "/etc/security/limits.conf", but I think this doesn't make
something on FC3.
In the description
is also the Parameter sigpending not available. Is that a BUG in
FC3?
I will make now an
upgrade to FC4. Maybe than it is working.
For Info: I'm
working not directly on pc-6. I'm connected over ssh on
pc-6.
When I work directly
on pc-6, than the ulimit can be modified by a local user.
THX.
bye,
Nobsi
