Package: sudo
Version: 1.6.8p12-4
Sudo does not respect /etc/security/limits.conf in the current version
of Debian Etch (update 7).
Steps to reproduce:
1) Fresh install of Debian Etch, Update 7
2) Set limits in /etc/security/limits.conf
* hard nofile 4096
* soft nofile 4096
3) sudo -u non_priv_user /bin/bash -c 'ulimit -n'
Rather then the expected output of '4096', '1024' is produced. Adding
'session required pam_limits.so' to /etc/pam.d/sudo does not help.
Workaround
Pull sudo 1.6.9p17-2 from Lenny and build against Etch (apt-get -b
source sudo) produces a sudo package that respects
/etc/security/limits.conf as expected.
