Greetings I was deploying my new system based on FreeBSD 11 and got ô surprise. I have specific subsystem which use own startup scripts tied to rc.subr for better integration. Those scripts can be used not only by system startup but also by unpriveleged user. With FreeBSD 11 in case of unpriveleged user the error appear: "limits: setrlimit datasize: Operation not permitted" There is a thread on a forum about the issue: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/58304/ I've never seen a warning to do not use rc.subr in regular scripts so I made it this way. May be we can consider to patch rc.subr and remove this restriction? P.S. This patch helps, but may be there is a better way. --- /etc/rc.subr.old 2017-06-21 07:11:39.716210000 +0300 +++ /etc/rc.subr 2017-06-21 07:18:21.215444000 +0300 @@ -1072,7 +1072,9 @@ fi # Prepend default limits - _doit="limits -C $_login_class $_doit" + if [ `id -u` -eq 0 ]; then + _doit="limits -C $_login_class $_doit" + fi # run the full command # -- Anthony Pankov mailto:ap00@mail.ruhelp
