3B2/400: setting ulimit in kernel; F77 not using MAU

Cna anyone answer these questions? (SysV,v.3.0):

	1) Is it possible to set ulimit globally, to be something
	   other than 2048 ? Currently, only setuid root can take
	   advantage of a changed ulimit, and only for subshells.
	   I added a ulimit = 8192 statement in kernel config file,
	   but ulimit is still 2048 for everyone (incl. root). My
	   motivation for changing ulimit is the transfer of > 1 Meg
	   files by users - currently not possible, unless setuid root.

	2) If I don't use the -f option of F77, the program core dumps
	   (illegal instruction) on execution. Works fine with -f. I
	   have configured for MAU, and it is shown as included when
	   /etc/system is run (in firmware). cc doesn't complain. I
	   assume that cc automagically chooses emulation/MAU ? F77
	   doesn't work with MAU ?

	3) Lastly - when I remake Unix using /etc/system - I get two
	   undefined variables, but unix is made, and bootable. Is this
	   common ? Can it be fixed without calling AT&T $ervice hotline?

				Thanks for any, and all answers!
