Hey everyone, I'm still trying to chase down an issue which seems to be plaguing me. I've seen the issue in RH8, and now in RH9. Basically, I want to allow users to work with a larger soft and hard limit on their number open files available (ulimit -nS and ulimit -nH). This was simple to do in RH7.3, but something has changed in 8 and 9 which has made it not work by pervious instructions. Here's the settings that seemed to work in 7.3 to change the nofiles parameter of ulimit to higher values:
In /etc/security/limits.conf you add the higher limits for both hard and soft limits: * soft nofile 10240 * hard nofile 65536 In /etc/pam.d/login you add the following to add to pam support: session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so Now, unfortunately, it does work if you su - to root, then su - to the user, but you must give the user sudo su to do that, and they won't su - back to themselves in most cases. Was there any specific changes in PAM in 8 and 9 which may effect this? Anyone else run into this?
