9500.0. "problem with C2 security and unlimit" by MLNCSC::VOCI () Tue Apr 15 1997 05:30

    Hello,
    
    I have the following problem with C2 security.
    
    On Digital Unix 4.0a the users can't issue the shell command unlimit
    since C2 was enabled.
    
    This is an issue for the customer since she has only few users that
    need very big datasize and stacksize, but since they can't issue the
    unlimit command the system managed had to increase the default size
    (which is true for all users) and performance went bad.
    
    Any idea is wellcome.
    Thanks,
    Gea

    The exact error is:
    
    Can't set limit
    
    Root has no problems and can unlimit the resource.

I tried the following on a Digital UNIX V4.0 (Rev. 386) system with
Enhanced Security enabled with csh and I had no problem:

ragweed.zk3.dec.com> limit
cputime         unlimited
filesize        unlimited
datasize        131072 kbytes
stacksize       2048 kbytes
coredumpsize    unlimited
memoryuse       122032 kbytes
descriptors     4096 files
addressspace    1048576 kbytes
ragweed.zk3.dec.com> unlimit stacksize
ragweed.zk3.dec.com> limit
cputime         unlimited
filesize        unlimited
datasize        131072 kbytes
stacksize       32768 kbytes
coredumpsize    unlimited
memoryuse       122032 kbytes
descriptors     4096 files
addressspace    1048576 kbytes

If your customer is still having problems, please supply complete
information about their configuration, the shell they are using,
the exact "unlimit" command(s) they are using, and the entries from
the password, protected password, and default databases.
