Source: pam Version: 1.1.3-7 Severity: normal If you try to set RLIMIT_NOFILE to RLIM_INFINITY (via * hard nofile unlimited or similar in /etc/security/limits.conf) this fails with EPERM, and no limit is set.
A slightly more useful setting would be to use /proc/sys/fs/nr_open instead, as it's the closest to unlimited possible. Otherwise, documenting this in limits.conf(5) as not supporting -1, unlimited or infinity would also be helpful. Don Armstrong -- Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure.
