The issue is that sshd changes the euid to the authenticating user after pam authentication is processed, thus limits do not get applied to the session you are creating. Privilege separation is an added layer of security, so you might not want to mess with it. Alternatively you can set the limits post login in your .bash_profile. > > Russell > > On 6/16/06, Yard, John <jyard@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > > > Did not work, JYard > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx > > [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of > > joe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > Sent: Friday, June 16, 2006 1:57 PM > > To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx > > Subject: AW: ulimit change still does not persist across system boot > > > > Take a loot at "/etc/security/limits.conf" ... > > > > Set there something like: > > > > USERNAME - nofile 8192 > > > > ...this should work > > > > cu, > > Joe > > > > PS: the file-mode shall be 644... cross-check that also ;-) > > > > -- > > redhat-list mailing list > > unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe > > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list > > > > -- > > redhat-list mailing list > > unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe > > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list > > > -- > redhat-list mailing list > unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
