ulimit -s to set the stack number on AIX5L

[pepperdine]

Hi, when I tried to increased the stack number to "unlimited" on AIX5L--either by editing /etc/security/limits file to let stack = -1 or use the smitty chuser, the result by ulimit -a is always showing the "2097152" rather than "unlimited". How should I do?

I'd guess you're running in 32-bit mode, and the stack pointer can't handle more than 2GB.

What are you running, the world's largest Tower of Hanoi? <kidding>
