# /etc/security/limits.conf
#
+#This file sets the resource limits for the users logged in via PAM.
+#It does not affect resource limits of the system services.
+#
+#Also note that configuration files in /etc/security/limits.d directory,
+#which are read in alphabetical order, override the settings in this
+#file in case the domain is the same or more specific.
+#That means, for example, that setting a limit for wildcard domain here
+#can be overridden with a wildcard setting in a config file in the
+#subdirectory, but a user specific setting here can be overridden only
+#with a user specific setting in the subdirectory.
+#
#Each line describes a limit for a user in the form:
#
#<domain> <type> <item> <value>
