I thought that it required a patch and a > special config? Well, it did originally, because the userspace rlimits should reflect what's in the kernel, and it takes time for userspace to catch up. But there's been plenty of time, this has been in the kernel since at least 2.6.13 - this should be fixed upstream by now. It seems like it should be adequate for Dapper to use the latest development versions of bash, glibc, and PAM, or else backport the patches. Either way it's been long enough - this should work OOTB on a modern system. > I don't know anything really about it at this point, > but someone emailed me and said they knew how and would email me back > with the howto, or add it to my site. > > I agree with you, but it is pretty easy to get the realtime-lsm module > installed, or to use the set_rlimits app. But PAM is the best option > from all I've read, and would make that part of the puzzle much > easier.
