It's possible, but you would have to use a login shell, which is usually inconvenient for a daemon (not having an attached terminal for I/O). The usual way to do this is to start the daemon in a script that explicitly sets the limits with /usr/bin/limits (or maybe ulimit, but limits(1) seems more common). Several ports do this, for example. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
