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?
On RHEL5 every sshd session holds at least one pag for root, so yes as soon as there are 50 users logged in strange things happen. ssh sessions as root would start to "share" tokens I suppose. Also, there must be a reason why pam does a setpag as root and another one as user: that corner case wouldn't be covered. Given that even with the fix checking return codes programs would have to start checking setpag()'s return code... and then what?
To me all that sounds like while a limit for vanilla_user is reasonable, one for root just brings more hassle than relief..
