:>     A couple of people have run up against this.  I think it's worth

:They don't die a horrible death, as it is only the kernel reporting that the
:vmemoryuse resource limit is not in the installed kernel.  The programs
:continue to function, as I was able to login without any problems.  It's
:just that each time a program (cron, login, inetd, sshd, su, ...) tried to
:set this limit, the error message was reported on the console and the log
:file..

    Ah, ok.  Since it isn't fatal I don't think we need to adjust the
    source code (e.g. to things like login) to deal with older kernels.
