pam (1.7.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium Starting with pam 1.7.0, pam_limits does not automatically reset the limits of logged in users. This means that systemd, rather than pam will set the defaults for things like number of open files and other resource limits. If limits are configured in /etc/security/limits.conf or /etc/security/limits.d/*.conf, these values will be respected. To restore the previous behavior, add the set_all option to pam_limits. For example in /etc/pam.d/ssh, replace: session required pam_limits.so with: session required pam_limits.so set_all -- Sam Hartman Tue, 14 Jan 2025 15:47:56 -0700 pam (1.5.3-7) unstable; urgency=medium Starting with PAM version 1.5.3, Debian supports usergroups for default umask of users logging in. If the primary group name of a user matches their primary user name (user pat's default group is also called pat), then files will be group writable by default. To disable this use a group name that differs from the user name or add nousergroups to the pam_umask line in /etc/pam.d/common-session and /etc/pam.d/common-session-noninteractive: session optional pam_umask.so nousergroups -- Sam Hartman Mon, 08 Apr 2024 16:15:58 -0600
