Hi
When i log in to oracle user, it gives this error;

-bash: ulimit: max user processes: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted

the output of the /etc/profile is;

if [ $USER = "oracle" ]; then
if [ $SHELL = "/bin/ksh" ]; then
ulimit -p 16384
ulimit -n 65536
else
ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536

Please help

Thanks
