For example, if you can setrlimit() RSIZE_CPU to infinity (depends on the
include files), you can change it.
You cannot limit -h a resource as user. This can only be done as root, and
when you login, your shell runs using your uid/gid, and thus limit -h in
/etc/csh.cshrc wont set the hardlimit. You can set the soft limit in
there, but any user can change it from the command line.
