are ulimits defined for each user seperately ?

Only if specified - else they all get the default settings. Usually on AIX root has special limits by default. As I already said in your other thread, have a look into /etc/security/limits or use ulimit -a as the user of interesst on your server under which the applications run.

Quote:

When ?

When opening up a shell or when a process is being started as some user by cron etc..

Quote:

Specialy what is the impact of :
max locked memory
and
virtual memory

Since you said in the other thread you are using AIX, maybe you lookup that at
pSeries and AIX Information Center

Here for the limits:
pSeries and AIX Information Center

And since in your case this is a bit more pointing to AIX, maybe post it in the AIX subforum, ty.
