Package: lshell Version: N/A; reported 2002-09-21 Severity: normal The default limits for lshell v2.01-11 are set for 24 open files and 30 processes. This is not enough for a user to have multiple sessions or even run a single copy of mozilla.
If the admin doesn't realize lshell is installed, its very difficult to figure out where these mysterious limits are coming from. You can't even grep for it; the numbers which appear in "ulimit -a" are abreviated in /etc/lshell.conf and lshell doesn't make a note of its presence in any of the standard locations for adjusting system rlimits (e.g. /etc/limits, /etc/security/limits.conf). This renders the system effectively unusable if lshell is installed by mistake (e.g. during an upgrade when you're yessing everything that comes by). Suggested fixes: Set the defaults near the normal parameters for a debian linux system. Tweak system limits.conf with a comment to the effect that additional control is provided by lshell.conf. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux minoc 2.2.21 #1 Wed Jun 12 21:50:46 EDT 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C
