That would be an incorrect presumption, IIRC.IIRC, ulimit only reports
that which the sysadmin
 has limited you to. To get LFS, you need amodified kernel (or 2.4.x).
For RHL7.x, you want 
the 'enterpise' kernel rpm installed, and then, of course, to boot said
kernel.
The other route is, of course, upgrade to 2.4.x (where x >=2, IMO), or
get the LFS patch, 
apply, and build.
