 |
|
In my /etc/security/limits.conf I have
| Code: | # grep ^[^#] /etc/security/limits.conf
* hard nofile 8192
sszb soft nofile 8192
sszb hard nofile 16384
fargred soft nofile 8192

I have shadow built with PAM support
| Code: | # equery u shadow
[ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation]
[ : I - package is installed with flag ]
[ Colors : set, unset ]
* Found these USE flags for sys-apps/shadow-4.1.4.3:
U I
- - audit : Enable support for sys-process/audit
+ + cracklib : Support for cracklib strong password checking
+ + nls : Adds Native Language Support (using gettext - GNU locale utilities)
+ + pam : Adds support for PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) - DANGEROUS to
arbitrarily flip
- - skey : Enable S/Key (Single use password) authentication support |
And the line about pam_limits.so has its place in every configuration file that may be at least related to logging in.
| Code: | # grep -rHi pam_limits.so /etc/pam.d/*
/etc/pam.d/atd:session required pam_limits.so
/etc/pam.d/login:session required pam_limits.so debug
/etc/pam.d/system-auth:session required pam_limits.so
/etc/pam.d/system-auth-winbind:session required pam_limits.so
/etc/pam.d/system-login:session required pam_limits.so debug
/etc/pam.d/system-services:session required pam_limits.so |
But every time I log in
I’ve read this topic but in /var/log/messages pam_unix is the only pam-related strings that are present, and I’m in doubt if it’s actually working? |

| I'd suggest PAM debugging. |
