You can see the ulimit settings for every user when you issue "lsuser <username>" as root. "lsuser" displays the attributes of a user in the form of a space-separated list "property=value". Modify any such value with the "chuser" command (see "man chuser" for details).
You can also do it a different way: edit the file "/etc/security/limits". It contains the process limits for users (file size, memory, number of processes, ...) in form of stanzas. A value of "-1" means "unlimited", like in "lsuser/chuser". If no stanza for a certain user is there it uses the values of the "default" stanza, otherwise the values stated in its own stanza block.
"chuser" and "adduser" both modify this file just the same, it makes no difference if you edit it with a text editor.
I hope this helps.
