I have two MOOs running on the system, which is almost exclusively devoted to them. When I start up the smaller (about 4 megs) of the two MOOs under my account, called kender, all is fine. The other MOO is larger (around 8megs database), but when I try starting it up with the other running, I get a panic of the moo's server from memory allocation. If I start it up under root's perms, all is fine. This has also happened on a box that is similar, after the login.conf was installed.. We have determined that the problem may be with the new login.conf. My 'kender' account may be running out of allocated memory. One of my assistants tried adding a portion to the login.conf file named kender, but it didn't seem to help. We would like to give kender infinite memory. Could you help me with how we would go about setting that up? I wonder if we just didn't miss a step/setting. tia, Bonnie Coluccio System Administrator backpacker.laroche.edu
