I don't think it makes sense that this configuration file be the means of resetting limits to their boot-time defaults, since that is what you really want. If what you want is to reset the base limits to those inherited from init, you should do that explicitly. i.e. have runuser or su, or SELinux transition on exec, reset the limits to init's before applying whatever configuration you want. What you propose will wind up with drift between the configuration file and the kernel defaults. Some of the kernel default limits are based on the size of RAM and such, so a default value in the config file will never be right across the board. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
