[gentoo-user] Set "max locked memory" to unlimited

Hi all,

I tryed to set the "max locked memory" for a user to unlimited.
I did this in that way,
opened shell
su
ulimit -l unlimited
exit
ulimit -a

And the unlimited was gone and reset to 32k. As root it was set right.

What did I do wrong, or where else I have to change things?


Thanks,
justin

Assuming your system is PAM-enabled, you can set the limits by editing
"/etc/security/limits.conf".

The new limits will not affect sessions which are already started. In
other words you need to log off/on for the new settings to take effect.

More info: man(5) limits.conf

That works, but how can I set it to unlimited?

If you have no entry there should be no limit. Alternatively, I
believe, a dash ("-") can be used to specify "unlimited".
