Robin Sommer reassigned BIT-178:
--------------------------------
Assignee: Daniel Thayer (was: Robin Sommer)
> BroControl's check process should check for ability to set "ulimit -d"
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: BIT-178
> URL: https://bro-tracker.atlassian.net/browse/BIT-178
> Project: Bro Issue Tracker
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: BroControl
> Affects Versions: 1.5.2
> Reporter: Seth Hall
> Assignee: Daniel Thayer
> Priority: Low
> Labels: warning
>
> If the bro process(es) are run as a non-root user, the "ulimit \-d" call done
> during the run-bro script will fail (on freebsd at least) and cause obtuse
> failures when the Bro processes grow beyond the default 512M data segment
> size (on freebsd again). The check process could verify that setting can be
> set and possibly give recommendations for linux and freebsd on how to
> increase that setting globally.
> For documentation purposes, to set it globally to the value set by the
> run-bro script put the following in the /boot/loader.conf file and reboot:
> {noformat}
> kern.maxdsiz=1610612736
> {noformat}
