I saw a posting not that long ago where someone (I wish I could remember
who) did a similar process using init. This way, all processes (which are
sub-processes of init, eventually) would have the higher ulimit. It would
seem to me that combining the two methods would provide a reasonably powerful
method of controlling file sizes, since there is no reason that the pseudo-
login couldn't lower the ulimit.
