Users of uid=0 are affected by this limits, too. - -By default limits are taken from the /etc/security/limits.conf config file. -Then individual files from the /etc/security/limits.d/ directory are read. The -files are parsed one after another in the order of "C" locale. The effect of -the individual files is the same as if all the files were concatenated together -in the order of parsing. If a config file is explicitely specified with a -module option then the files in the above directory are not parsed. - -The module must not be called by a multithreaded application. - -If Linux PAM is compiled with audit support the module will report when it -denies access based on limit of maximum number of concurrent login sessions. - -OPTIONS - -change_uid - - Change real uid to the user for who the limits are set up. Use this option - if you have problems like login not forking a shell for user who has no - processes. Be warned that something else may break when you do this. - -conf=/path/to/limits.conf - - Indicate an alternative limits.conf style configuration file to override - the default. - -debug - - Print debug information. - -utmp_early - - Some broken applications actually allocate a utmp entry for the user before - the user is admitted to the system. If some of the services you are - configuring PAM for do this, you can selectively use this module argument - to compensate for this behavior and at the same time maintain system-wide - consistency with a single limits.conf file. - -noaudit - - Do not report exceeded maximum logins count to the audit subsystem. - -EXAMPLES - -These are some example lines which might be specified in /etc/security/ -limits.conf. - -* soft core 0 -* hard rss 10000 -@student hard nproc 20 -@faculty soft nproc 20 -@faculty hard nproc 50 -ftp hard nproc 0 -@student - maxlogins 4 - - |
