System Resource Limits

If you type ulimit in the shell, bash obligingly shows you the process
resource limits that affect processes started by the shell:

$ ulimit -S -a
core file size        (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size         (kbytes, -d) unlimited
file size             (blocks, -f) unlimited
max locked memory     (kbytes, -l) unlimited
max memory size       (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files                    (-n) 1024
pipe size          (512 bytes, -p) 8
stack size            (kbytes, -s) 8192
cpu time             (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes            (-u) 2048
virtual memory        (kbytes, -v) unlimited

Where, pray tell, on a system not using PAM, can these be set on a
system-wide basis?

Thanks,

Kurt
