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.
OPTIONS
change_uid
Change real uid to the user for who the limits are set up. Use this option
if you have problems like login not forking a shell for user who has no
processes. Be warned that something else may break when you do this.
conf=/path/to/limits.conf
Indicate an alternative limits.conf style configuration file to override
the default.
debug
Print debug information.
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.
EXAMPLES
These are some example lines which might be specified in /etc/security/
limits.conf.
* soft core 0
* hard rss 10000
@student hard nproc 20
@faculty soft nproc 20
@faculty hard nproc 50
ftp hard nproc 0
@student - maxlogins 4
