With a std. FreeBSD 2.1.0 system with 128Mbytes (the MAXMEM kernel
parameter has been used to build the kernel), what limitations are there
on memorysize and datasize for processes kicked off in /etc/rc

The default csh limit parameters suggest 64Mb but are they in use when
running /etc/rc ?  If not, what shell limits are in use during /ec/rc
processing and how do you up them ?

I hope this makes sense.
