This is a bit strange, because updatedb attempts the same thing itself, by means of setrlimit (and there's no reason why bash should be allowed to if updatedb isn't). Do you think you could strace it and see what happens with the getrlimit() and setrlimit() calls? /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: https://www.sesse.net/
