[ale] Conundrum for the day: file resource limit problem

[Joe Steele]

To completely control the resources available to users, the line 
would need to be included in all the files for those services 
which are accessible.

It is also possible to use different limits.conf files for different 
services.  For example, if you want special limits for ftp access, 
you could create /etc/security/ftp-limits.conf, and then add the 
following to /etc/pam.d/ftp:

session    required     /lib/security/pam_limits.so  \
                  conf=/etc/security/ftp-limits.conf

Joe,

I noticed that the line was included in /etc/pam.d/sshd but not
/etc/pam.d/login.  If I add it in the former do I need it in the latter (or
in /etc/pam.d/ftp -- the file resource limit problem occurred when the user
was trying to FTP a very large file)?

One caveat I might mention.  In order for PAM to use 
limits.conf, you will need to add the following line at 
the bottom of /etc/pam.d/login, if it's not in there 
already:

session    required     /lib/security/pam_limits.so
