Hi:

       I'm trying to run a program that uses 16mb memory. As root it runs 
nicely, but if I try to run it as a normal user, the system complains:

Fatal error: can't allocate 16....  

I think that is a limitation of how much memory a user can allocate. How can I 
change this ? The FreeBSD box has 32mb ram and I'm running 2.2.2 on it.

Thanks a lot !
Best regards,
Helio.
