Package: sudo Version: 1.6.8p12-4 Sudo does not respect /etc/security/limits.conf in the current version of Debian Etch (update 7).
Steps to reproduce: 1) Fresh install of Debian Etch, Update 7 2) Set limits in /etc/security/limits.conf * hard nofile 4096 * soft nofile 4096 3) sudo -u non_priv_user /bin/bash -c 'ulimit -n' Rather then the expected output of '4096', '1024' is produced. Adding 'session required pam_limits.so' to /etc/pam.d/sudo does not help. Workaround Pull sudo 1.6.9p17-2 from Lenny and build against Etch (apt-get -b source sudo) produces a sudo package that respects /etc/security/limits.conf as expected. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers oldstable APT policy: (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-6-686-bigmem Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages sudo depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch9+b1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpam-modules 0.79-5+etch1 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam0g 0.79-5+etch1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l sudo recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
