I've been doing unix since 91, but never thought of typing "help
(anything)" before. =)
The help page for ulimit indicated that the line in question in the
/etc/profile was designed to limit the size of that user's core files.
That's not a bad thing to set a limit on I guess, so now the question
that begs is: Why that ulimit operation is not permitted on my system?
Thanks!
