Not sure if this is a possible answer to the question, or perhaps another question altogether, but ... I've struggled with the same issue on a debian system for some time, then discovered this in /etc/pam.d/su - # Sets up user limits, please uncomment and read /etc/security/limits.conf # to enable this functionality. # (Replaces the use of /etc/limits in old login) # session required pam_limits.so So far, I'm still not sure if uncommenting the 'session required pam_limits.so' line actually solves the problem, but I am curious. cheers. (I dumbly sent this to just the op instead of 'reply all', so fwiw I'm repeating it to the list) _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
