That is a silly bug in the install script. You have nothing to worry about. For a good laugh, figure out the conditions in root.sh that cause the message to print (hint - don't assume it makes any sense).

IUG = your installation user guide (Installing Oracle on Solaris). It's basically referring to the part about raising ulimit. Which you don't have to do, since you can't have more than unlimited.
