In response to "check something like /etc/security/limits.conf -- nm" by decline

There is nothing in there set to 1024 now and it looks like the values do not correspond to our site anyway.

I doubt this file is used at all. It shows things like students and faculty. We are not a school.

The defaults are 1024. Add these two lines - oblique Apr 16, 11:07 16
- you may also need to make sure your pam config is set to view limits. - decline Apr 16, 11:13
- also, you would have to log in again after the changes -- nm - zork Apr 16, 11:11
- That worked! Thanks. -- nm - GregW Apr 16, 11:11 13
  - I am shocked that none of the sites I could find even mentioned this. -- nm - GregW Apr 16, 11:12 12
    - I love Linux for certain situations but the documentation in general sucks and stuff like this makes it feel like black magic -- nm - oblique Apr 16, 11:14 6
      - documentation? hahaha -- nm - decline Apr 16, 11:15 5
        
        I have no idea how people used to run Linux before google -- nm - oblique Apr 16, 11:16 4

    - really? I'm seeing lots. -- (link) - zork Apr 16, 11:14 4
      - Yet if you're looking in the default limits.conf you won't see a line for 1024 to change - oblique Apr 16, 11:15 3
        
        Exactly, and there is no way to know what to add. -- nm - GregW Apr 16, 11:17 2
        
        If you had done "man limits.conf" it would have explained it (although maybe not clearly enough) - oblique Apr 16, 11:18 1
        
        Didn't even think of that. I tried man ulimit, but that was no help. -- nm - GregW Apr 16, 11:23
