I Actually did 

limit datasize 64000



the default datasize is 16MB


but seems like ther eis an hard conded kernel limit because the data size
limit cannot exceed 24MB.

Should I Recompile the kernel ??


ther eis like in FreeBSD some configuration file at login process which
can set the resource limit for users ?

in FreeBSD it is a /etc/login.conf file.


THANK
