I'm consuming a bunch of resources on this machine, root's cronjobs are unaffected but mine are unable to fork. So I thought a quick fix would be to specify the root class for myself in master.passwd, so I vipw'd and modified my record accordingly but to no effect. I've read the man page for login.conf, I just don't see this adequately explained. How does cron read the resource limits from login.conf? FWIW, I tried modifying the default class too but to no avail. Is it because this of the limits that were in effect when I started this big honking resource consuming job? I'd thought that if I specify a different class or upped the limits in the default class, I'd "re-allocate" more resource availability to my user id.
