Hello,
I been looking through the mailing archives, but I couldn't find a direct
answer to my problem. Perhaps someone here will be helpfull, and please
excuse this post if I missed some obvious answer ...
I have installed a fresh copy of 3.0-19981006-BETA, and seem to have no
end of problems with limits. When I run 'limits', I get the following
results:
Resource limits (current):
cputime infinity secs
filesize infinity kb
datasize 524288 kb
stacksize 65536 kb
coredumpsize infinity kb
memoryuse infinity kb
memorylocked infinity kb
maxprocesses 531
openfiles 1064
I have checked login.conf, and it does indeed confirm that the cputime
limits should be set to 'infinity'.
:cputime=unlimited:\
:datasize=unlimited:\
:stacksize=unlimited:\
:memorylocked=unlimited:\
:memoryuse=unlimited:\
:filesize=unlimited:\
:coredumpsize=unlimited:\
:openfiles=unlimited:\
:maxproc=unlimited:\
When I attempt to untar a file, I get the ever-so-annoying:
Cputime limit exceeded
0.000u 0.000s 5:33.14 0.0% 0+0k 3594+7617io 0pf+0w
The point at which this occurs seems random at best, sometimes I almost
make it to the end, other times only two or so files are extracted
before it gives the above message.
What am I missing? When you 'su' to root, does it keep the limits of the
current user, or take on the limits set for root? This machine is in a
remote location, and I cannot compile or even untar things! Why would the
installation default to this!?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
