Yes, there is a documentation (libpam-doc package), and there are two
things to make it work:
1) /etc/security/limits.conf should be readable only by root,
2) a line "session required pam_limits.so" in /etc/pam.d/login
should be uncommented.
Does anybody know how to put there value `unlimited' (it doesn't help
just to write it there)?
Thanks for the kick in the right direction,
Matej
