Hi My issue was that after doing a apt-get dist-upgrade on one of my Debian servers, logcheck started sending me constant messages as seen below: pam_limits[19331]: setrlimit limit #6 to soft=-1, hard=-1 failed: Operation not permitted; uid=1045 euid=1045
And in fact this error would pop up constantly in auth.log whenever any user SSH-ed to the server. Trawling through newsgroups and mailing list archives the only thing I found was that the fault stems from my not configuring /etc/security/limits.conf properly. So after rtfming the man pages and failing miserably to solve my issue I gave up and bodged it by commenting out: # Line commented out because it gave errors in auth.log as below: # session required pam_limits.so from /etc/pam.d/ssh This means I no longer get error messages in auth.log or logcheck ;-) Ugh, any helpful pointers in the right way of fixing would be appreciated.
