Thought of that, but the users use a mix of bash, csh, and tcsh (maybe even ksh ?)... I guess I could create a system bashrc, cshrc, etc. file. Just thought there might be something in a file like /etc/sysctl or something, wherever the shells get their initial values from. On the SGI there was a tuneable system file that you could define defaults and maximums for process resources, guess I was looking for something along those lines that was shell independent...

I know I can use the ulimit command to change the number of files that I can have open, but is there a system configuration that I can set

somewhere

so that all users have a higher number of open files by default without having to do a ulimit command, or modifying everyones login files ?

Thanks, Kevin
