How do normal users get to create/maintain large files (i.e. >2G) in Linux 2.4 on i386?
The root user can make filesize unlimited but a non-root user cannot. They come up with the same limits in both tcsh and bash (i.e. filesize 1048576 kbytes or 0x40000000)
I can't seem to find where this number comes from anywhere -- either in glibc-2.2.1 or the kernel. getrlimit64 returns it.
I can't make all my users root users!!! Can anybody help?
