Actually it is insame to use these physical limits for the rlimit values.
The 'rlimit' values should be set to sane constants almost regardless
as to the size of the machine.

Remember a non-roor user can increase the 'soft' limit to the 'hard'
limit - so a single process can then use all the system resource.
A root user can always increase the soft andhard limits.

For RSS on i386 a limit of 3G is not a limit.
