"sysctl -a | grep kern | grep key" doesn't show anything on Centos 5.2 or RHEL 5.4, so I would say that parameter is not available.

What is the scope of the limit. Would that limit me to 50 concurrent ssh sessions? Would things go south after I connect and disconnect 51 times?

Concurrent sessions - as keyrings are garbage collected by the kernel, you get quota back. It's also not necessarily going to be 50 of them - it depends on the way that the PAG has been created. If you're using a PAM module which does the setpag as the user, rather than as root, you'll never see a problem.

But yes, the limit is a pain, and we should stop hitting it. It'll be fixed in 1.4.13, and it's likely that those changes will get rolled into RPMs sooner. But, as I've only just finished building 1.4.12 ...

Cheers,

Simon.
