I'm trying to set the nofile Hard and Soft limits on several RH8.0 boxes for users since they cannot sudo ulimit. The boxes are a combination of patched systems, as well as straight off the install systems. I use the following procedure which works in RH7.3/RHAS7.3 and is documented everywhere:
Edit the /etc/security/limits.conf and add the following: * soft nofile 4096 * hard nofile 8192 Add the following line to the /etc/pam.d/login file: session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so to make it look like: #%PAM-1.0 auth required /lib/security/pam_securety.so auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth password required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth session required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth session optional /lib/security/pam_console.so session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so Then reboot. Now, this seems to work fine for the other platforms (Haven't tried RH9) but it does nothing in RH8.0. I can lower the limit successfully, but upping it even to the previous value gives the following: -bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted The system file-max seems to be fine: cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max 13107 Now if I do a ulimit -a -H as a user, the limit still shows 1024. Anyone know if there is something different in RH8.0, or if maybe PAM had issues?
