I've just been bitten by running out of virtual memory accidentally. Martin Pitt mentioned that allowed memory should be controlled as well, and this was missing so I had to hard reboot.
I'm going to set a system limit of perhaps half or three quarters available RAM. Could a limit for allowed memory be added too please? I'm putting it here rather than opening a new bug as the subject is generally about ulimit and memory usage limits were mentioned from the start. ** Changed in: pam (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => In Progress -- Consider setting more restrictive default resource limits https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/14505 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
