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 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 explicitely 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. OPTIONS |
