Just stumbled over it ... ulimit -H -u <#procs> refuses to go below the current 'soft' limit, this was not the case in 2.4.21, but I do not know when, how and why this changed ... I do not have a problem with that, but it will give some troubles on certain configurations, which simply reduce the hard limit to something reasonable and expect the soft limit to follow best, Herbert
