Package: libpam-modules
Version: 1.0.1-5+lenny1
Severity: important
Hello:
After reading through the original bug report and the one submitted
to Ubuntu (#327597), I think there is some issue, at least with trying
to change the memlock limits.
So, before touching anything:
nas...@rey2:~$ ulimit -l
32
nas...@rey2:~$ ulimit -H -l
32
Note that this machine is an LDAP client for authentication via
libpam-ldap. After adding these lines to an otherwise empty
/etc/security/limits.conf:
* hard memlock unlimited
* soft memlock unlimited
and double checking that in the file /etc/pam.d/sshd is uncommented:
# Set up user limits from /etc/security/limits.conf.
session required pam_limits.so
I see no change either through a VNC terminal or just ssh'ing to the
machine:
VNC TERMINAL
nas...@rey2:~$ su nasser
Password:
nas...@rey2:~$ ulimit -l
32
nas...@rey2:~$ ulimit -H -l
32
SSH DIRECTLY TO MACHINE
nas...@rey2:~$ ulimit -l
32
nas...@rey2:~$ ulimit -H -l
32
This is my first bug report and I am not an expert at this, but I cannot
figure out what I am doing wrong, I do think there is a bug. I have also
tried different limits in /etc/security/limits.conf:
* hard memlock 100
* soft memlock 50
which do not work. I tried this on my home machine, which does not use
LDAP in any way, but is also an Intel machine, and it worked correctly.
If I have left something out that is needed, please let me know.
