Did you also check /etc/security/limits.d/ ? > The 'cron' description is the original ... > # Sets up user limits, please define limits for cron tasks > # through /etc/security/limits.conf > session required pam_limits.so This line means that cron will use whatever limits are configured on your system in general -- we don't ship any limits with cron. So the error you are seeing must come from either limits.conf or limits.d, at least that is my understanding of pam_limits(8). Christian
