ulimit (memory) HPUX

Hi all,

I am setting the memory allocation to 3GB for each user on HPUX 11.23.

I have added ulimit -m 3145728 into the profiles for root and user "X".

When I do ulimit -a for each user I get conflicting values:

user root: memory(kbytes) 3145728
user "X": memory(kbytes) 4293918720

Is there something I need to change on user "X" in order for the value to be correct?

Thanks all for the assistance.

PS: Disk is cheap, cheaper than Sys Admin hours. Go big and leave it alone.
