Package: cron Version: 3.0pl1-87 Priority: important The stock /etc/pam.d/cron does not have the pam_limit module enabled:
# Sets up user limits, please uncomment and read /etc/security/limits.conf # to enable this functionality. # session required pam_limits.so However other pam.d configuration files for common stuff (gdm, ssh, xdm and suexec) enable it by default. The default /etc/security/limits.conf does not impose any limits, so it's not much of an issue. Is there any reason why that pam module is not enabled by default? That seems to be another hurdle in admin's way when he wants to configure user limits as he needs to modify both /etc/security/limits.conf and then /etc/pam.d/login with no indication in either limits.conf nor /etc/security/limits.conf that this module is not enabled per default in cron tasks.
