Thanks for the response, I've been nosing around that file recently but
noted the first two lines;
#This file sets the resource limits for the users logged in via PAM.
#It does not affect resource limits of the system services.

I added these two lines to the end of the file
* soft stack 12288
* hard stack 12288
in an attempt to set the stack depth to 12MB so that I can configure
postgresql max_stack_depth = 10MB.
I rebooted, ulimit -s shows 12288.
When I restart my service (#It does not affect resource limits of the
system services.) becomes apparent.

Increase the platform's stack depth limit via "ulimit -s" or local
equivalent.
So, I then run 'ulimit -s 12288' and still can't restart my service.
How can I increase stack depth for system processes, not just PAM
authenticated users?
Thanks in advance,
Michael
