Hello, I'd like to adjust the default limits for an account via login.conf(5) and adding the appropriate class entry to the affected account in the password file. Specifically, I want this to configure the resource limits for a MySQL server. Will this work?
The man page mumbles something about "login and some other programs" which will make use of the class entry, but I was unable to figure out which programs exactly will obey or ignore these class entries. I could also manually place a number of 'ulimit' statements in the start script but would prefer to do it with login.conf. Btw, I seem to have 368 tables (to forestall the '29 tables' argument)... Any ideas, please? Best, --Toni++
