pam_limits -- PAM module to limit resources -------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION The pam_limits PAM module sets limits on the system resources that can be obtained in a user-session. 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 *.conf 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 explicitly 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 conf=/path/to/limits.conf Indicate an alternative limits.conf style configuration file to override the default. debug Print debug information. set_all Set the limits for which no value is specified in the configuration file to the one from the process with the PID 1. 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.
