RE: Increasing the stack size

[Alan Keane <akeane quadrics com>]

Hi Michal,

Thanks for that, I just got it working on one of my machines, but another of
my linux boxes
still won't allow a 'normal' user to increase their stack limit.

Could you possibly recommend some docs, as although I have spent most of the
day typing

+stack +linux +increase 

into Alta Vista, I have not been able to find any doc on this, thanks again
for your help!

Cheers,
Alan Keane

Yes.  You have to edit /etc/security/limits.conf and this has
__nothing__ to do with Alpha but with how login program, and PAM
libraries, work.  At least this worked the last time I tried.

Reading docs before you start with editor is highly recommended even if
a header comment in the aforementioned file gives quite a bit of
information.
