User unable to create a file over 2 GB's in size
Hello, this is my first post.
I have a user who cannot create a file over 2 GB's in size eventhough the FS is large file enabled and I added a special stanza in /etc/security/limits to allow an unlimited file size for this particular user (user1 - see below).
ibm:/home/root (4062)#cat /etc/security/limits
*
* Sizes are in multiples of 512 byte blocks, CPU time is in seconds
*
* fsize - soft file size in blocks
* core - soft core file size in blocks
* cpu - soft per process CPU time limit in seconds
* data - soft data segment size in blocks
* stack - soft stack segment size in blocks
* rss - soft real memory usage in blocks
* nofiles - soft file descriptor limit
* fsize_hard - hard file size in blocks
* core_hard - hard core file size in blocks
* cpu_hard - hard per process CPU time limit in seconds
* data_hard - hard data segment size in blocks
* stack_hard - hard stack segment size in blocks
* rss_hard - hard real memory usage in blocks
* nofiles_hard - hard file descriptor limit
*
* The following table contains the default hard values if the
* hard values are not explicitly defined:
*
* Attribute Value
* ========== ============
* fsize_hard set to fsize
* cpu_hard set to cpu
* core_hard -1
* data_hard -1
* stack_hard -1
* rss_hard -1
* nofiles_hard -1
*
* NOTE: A value of -1 implies "unlimited"
*
default:
fsize = 4194300
core = 4096
cpu = -1
data = 524288
rss = 131072
nofiles = 2000
root:
daemon:
bin:
sys:
adm:
uucp:
guest:
nobody:
lpd:
user1:
fsize = -1
I'm not sure where else to look to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Shane

gsscred
gsscred(1M) System Administration Commands gsscred(1M)
NAME
gsscred - add, remove, and list gsscred table entries
SYNOPSIS
gsscred [-n user [-o oid] [-u uid]] [-c comment] -m mech -a
gsscred [-n user [-o oid]] [-u uid] [-m mech] -r
gsscred [-n user [-o oid]] [-u uid] [-m mech] -l
DESCRIPTION
The gsscred utility is used to create and maintain a mapping between a security principal name and a local UNIX uid. The format of the user
name is assumed to be GSS_C_NT_USER_NAME. You can use the -o option to specify the object identifier of the name type. The OID must be
specified in dot-separated notation, for example: 1.2.3.45464.3.1
The gsscred table is used on server machines to lookup the uid of incoming clients connected using RPCSEC_GSS.
When adding users, if no user name is specified, an entry is created in the table for each user from the passwd table. If no comment is
specified, the gsscred utility inserts a comment that specifies the user name as an ASCII string and the GSS-APIsecurity mechanism that
applies to it. The security mechanism will be in string representation as defined in the /etc/gss/mech file.
The parameters are interpreted the same way by the gsscred utility to delete users as they are to create users. At least one of the follow-
ing options must be specified: -n, -u, or -m. If no security mechanism is specified, then all entries will be deleted for the user identi-
fied by either the uid or user name. If only the security mechanism is specified, then all user entries for that security mechanism will be
deleted.
Again, the parameters are interpreted the same way by the gsscred utility to search for users as they are to create users. If no options
are specified, then the entire table is returned. If the user name or uid is specified, then all entries for that user are returned. If a
security mechanism is specified, then all user entries for that security mechanism are returned.
OPTIONS
-a Add a table entry.
-c comment Insert comment about this table entry.
-l Search table for entry.
-m mech Specify the mechanism for which this name is to be translated.
-n user Specify the optional principal name.
-o oid Specify the OID indicating the name type of the user.
-r Remove the entry from the table.
-u uid Specify the uid for the user if the user is not local.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Creating a gsscred Table for the Kerberos v5 Security Mechanism
The following shows how to create a gsscred table for the kerberos v5 security mechanism. gsscred obtains user names and uid's from the
passwd table to populate the table.
example% gsscred -m kerberos_v5 -a
Example 2 Adding an Entry for root/host1 for the Kerberos v5 Security Mechanism
The following shows how to add an entry for root/host1 with a specified uid of 0 for the kerberos v5 security mechanism.
example% gsscred -m kerberos_v5 -n root/host1 -u 0 -a
Example 3 Listing All User Mappings for the Kerberos v5 Security Mechanism
The following lists all user mappings for the kerberos v5 security mechanism.
example% gsscred -m kerberos_v5 -l
Example 4 Listing All Mappings for All Security Mechanism for a Specified User
The following lists all mappings for all security mechanisms for the user bsimpson.
example% gsscred -n bsimpson -l
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
>0 An error occurred.

NOTES
Some GSS mechanisms, such as kerberos_v5, provide their own authenticated-name-to-local-name (uid) mapping and thus do not usually have to
be mapped using gsscred. See gsscred.conf(4) for more information.
