I am trying to get my "ulimit -l" set to unlimited, for normal users, and not sure what's going wrong. I get the correct ulimit under only once particular scenario: If I become root and then su to a normal user. Otherwise it doesn't seem to work. The symptoms are:
rpna...@eu001>ssh eu002 ulimit -l 32 [rpna...@eu001 root]$ ssh eu002 [rpna...@eu002 ~]$ ulimit -l 32 [r...@eu001 ~]# ulimit -l unlimited [r...@eu001 ~]# su rpnabar [rpna...@eu001 root]$ ulimit -l unlimited eu001 and eu002 are identical compute nodes running CentOS. Here's what all I've already tried: [rpna...@eu001 root] cat /etc/security/limits.conf [snip] * hard memlock unlimited * soft memlock unlimited # End of file [rpna...@eu001 root]$ cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config [snip] UsePrivilegeSeparation no [snip] [rpna...@eu001 root]$ service sshd restart The last suggestion was on the basis of a RHEL knowledgebase article. Any other things that I can check for this? I'm stumped. -- Rahul _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
