The /usr/doc/pam*/txt/pam.txt file states that:
To completely disable limits for a user (or a group), a single
dash (-) will do (Example: ``bin -'', ``@admin -''). Please
remember that individual limits have priority over group limits,
so if you impose no limits for admin group, but one of the
members in this group have a limits line, the user will have its
limits set according to this line.
But when I try putting in the line:
userid -
I get this error message in /var/log/messages:
Feb 25 13:33:42 beta pam_limits[13852]: error parsing the configuration file
Can somebody explain to me how to diable limits for a user properly? I'm
running a RH 6.2 box.
I asked Andrew Morgan & he posted up a bug report over at:

Thanks,
