<PRE> I tried /etc/profile before I sent out the message. If the user I log in as is not root, I get the 'Operation not permitted' error. Looks like the problem has something to do with permissions but I am not sure what to change to make it possible to set 'ulimit -c' for non-root users since ulimit is a bash built-in command.

Hello
There are two different file which control Bash shell.
1. One is the profile file in the /etc directory and 2. The second is .bashrc file in each user personal directory under the /home directory.
The profile in the /etc directory controls system wide environment.

By default, SuSE 5.3 sets the maximum core file size to 0 (ulimit -c 0) which means that no core files are created. I have tried to modify the size but as a non-root I get the message 'bash: ulimit: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted'. As root I can change the limit but only for the current login. How can I change it on a system wide basis?
Thanks, Avi
