Hi there,
Here is my question and I hope this can be fixed. I am currently
overseeing
a cluster of 3 freebsd machines runnning 2.2.2 Release #0.
First machine has 256Megs of ram
The second machine has 128megs of ram.
Final one has 64Megs.
The first machine has a kernel that has been compiled to allow programs
to grow as
big as 200megs. The only problem is that for some reason the only one
who can have
programs grow to this size are those who are logged in on the console.
If you login remotely
or rsh into the machine you are restricticed to a much smaller chunk of
memory. This
seems to appear in all three setups. If you login on console you get as
much memory as the
machine was setup to give, but remote login users are allowed only 1/4th
to 1/2 of that size.
Unfortunately this is hendering us since the applications we are
running, run in parallel via
rshes and thus need more memory then freebsd is willing to give.
Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks
