But I think it applies to any session that will start later. Ulimits are inherited by all child processes; lowering them is always possible, raising them may be an administrator-only action. bash's manual (man 1 bash) has an informative chapter on ulimit. Otherwise you may want to check setrlimit(2). System-wide settings may be set in /etc/security/limits.conf (or /etc/limits.conf, depending on your distro). Man 5 limits.conf has the details (at least on my Ubuntu Raring system). Kinkie
