hi,

still some troubles left, i have an additional change request for aix.c:
--------- (reference: 
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pseries/v5r3/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.aix.files/doc/aixfiles/limits.htm 
):

"If you do not define an attribute for a user, the system applies default 
values." (from "default soft limits" stanza)

e.g. # cat /etc/security/limits

default:
   fsize = -1
   core = 2097151
   cpu = -1
   data = 262144
   stack = 65536
   rss = 65536
   nofiles = 2000

no soft limits -> use default soft limits
some soft limits defined -> for rest also use default soft limits

------
the rest should be as already implemented:


-> "If the hard values are not explicitly defined in the 
/etc/security/limits file but the soft values are, the system substitutes 
the following values for the hard limits:"

Resource                Hard Value
Core Size               unlimited 
CPU Time                cpu 
Data Size               unlimited 
File Size               fsize 
Memory Size     unlimited 
Stack Size              4194304 
File Descriptors        unlimited 

-> "If the hard values are explicitly defined but the soft values are not, 
the system sets the soft values equal to the hard values. "

regards
Philipp
