Setting Ulimit problem

I changed the standard Ulimit sometime back. But when I change it back, the setting does not get updated.
How do I make the change permanent

Do you remember how you changed the ulimit and what Operating System you have?

Did you relog?

I am using Sco Open Server 5. Unfortunately I don't remember exactly how I changed the ulimit. But I guess I must have used the standard syntax. Zaxxon What do you mean by "did you relog?"

Log out and log back in. Like user groups, these settings are applied at login.

Zaxxon/Corona688, When I log in as root and change the ulimit, it remains as I have changed. But the next day it changes back to the wrong Ulimit.

I believe that on SCO, you can set ulimit settings that persist across boots (and logins) in /etc/profile or /etc/default/login.

It's likely that you edited one of those files previously.
