Hi ! 

I have a stupid thought problem. I know that in a ksh a 64Mb limit is imposed
in this shell. Supposedly in csh one can define ulimit. But what if a 
user starts up a csh while in a ksh ?

What system limits are defined while executing netstart, or rc.local ?

What about a setuid or a fork to a user with a specific shell ?

I am very curious for the answer!

TIA, best regards, Rob Kouwenberg

PS the reason I am looking for an answer is for having more than 512 files open
and giving apache more memory.
