[KLUG Members] Setting user Ulimit.

[Adam Bultman]

This is the most annoying problem YET.

I've got a redhat 7.2 box at work here, and I'm going nuts. I don't know
how it happened, but the file size limit for all users (but root) is 102.4
MB.  This is REALLY annoying, since I work with rather large files, and
I'm really sick of getting 'file size limit exceeeded', and having a file
exactly 102.4 MB.  I've read the manpage for ulimit, but I don't know how
to set this for a user, not system-wide.  ulimit shows that file size is
unlimited.  A web page told me to edit some files in /proc/sys/fs, but
doing as they said changed nothing.

I've come *this* close to scrapping this system and re-installing, but I'd
rather have a quicker, and less painful way of fixing this problem.
Re-installing is kind of lame, too.
