[ale] Conundrum for the day: file resource limit problem

[Davis, Ricardo C.]

Thanks for the suggestion.

I just put the command in /etc/profile (without discriminating which user I
want) and took it out of the user's .bash_profile to see if the idea would
work.  

Unfortunately, it didn't.

This is probably a deeper system problem...I'm still digging for clues.

I believe that if you put it in /etc/profile, with a bit of scripting so
that only the user you want gets the upped ulimit, you'll be okay.
