You're not out of date. Both ssh & ssh2 don't use /etc/limits.
Thanks for pointing that out.
It's a pity that slink doesn't implement PAM. I hope potato does

I only have one shell available (bash) and only two user bases
(the good ones -ie, two people + me- and the rest of the world)... if [
$USER in /etc/profile is enough for me. Thanks for point the package out
anyway.
