We'll try it.

There are two kinds of ulimits, soft and hard. Hard limits cannot be increased,
so maybe you try to exceed a hard limit here?

I do not think grompp tries to modify the file. The error message above seems
to point at limits.sh not being allowed to raise the limit. Did you talk to
your sysadmin? They should be able to raise the limit. BTW, note that the limit
in question here is not memory per se, but locked memory.

Try to do it from a script (or by hand) before starting gromacs, like so:
ulimit -l unlimited
Modifying the limit from the program is also possible, but a little bit more
involved (this code should work on Linux; on other systems, things might be a
bit different):
#include <sys/resource.h>
struct rlimit unlim = {RLIM_INFINITY, RLIM_INFINITY};
int err = setrlimit(RLIMIT_MEMLOCK, &unlim);
/* error handling skeleton; based on the error message given above, you will
probably get EPERM */
if (err)
switch (errno)
{
case EFAULT: /* limit points outside address range */
break;
case EINVAL: /* invalid resource, or soft > hard */
break;
case EPERM: /* unprivileged process tried to raise hard limit */
break;
}
