The pam_limits PAM module sets limits on the system resources that can be
obtained in a user-session. Users of <span class="emphasis"><em>uid=0</em></span> are affected
by this limits, too.
</p><p>
By default limits are taken from the <code class="filename">/etc/security/limits.conf</code>
config file. Then individual *.conf files from the <code class="filename">/etc/security/limits.d/</code>
directory are read. The files are parsed one after another in the order of "C" locale.
The effect of the individual files is the same as if all the files were
concatenated together in the order of parsing.
If a config file is explicitly specified with a module option then the
files in the above directory are not parsed.
</p><p>
The module must not be called by a multithreaded application.
</p><p>
If Linux PAM is compiled with audit support the module will report
when it denies access based on limit of maximum number of concurrent
login sessions.
</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="sag-limits.conf-description"></a>6.15.2. DESCRIPTION</h3></div></div></div><p>
The <span class="emphasis"><em>pam_limits.so</em></span> module applies ulimit limits,
nice priority and number of simultaneous login sessions limit to user
login sessions. This description of the configuration file syntax
applies to the <code class="filename">/etc/security/limits.conf</code> file and
<code class="filename">*.conf</code> files in the
<code class="filename">/etc/security/limits.d</code> directory.
</p><p>
The syntax of the lines is as follows:
</p><p>
<em class="replaceable"><code><domain></code></em> <em class="replaceable"><code><type></code></em>
<em class="replaceable"><code><item></code></em> <em class="replaceable"><code><value></code></em>
</p><p>
The fields listed above should be filled as follows:
</p><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term">

This should not be confused with netgroups.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
the wildcard <span class="emphasis"><em>*</em></span>, for default entry.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
the wildcard <span class="emphasis"><em>%</em></span>, for maxlogins limit only,
can also be used with <span class="emphasis"><em>%group</em></span> syntax. If the
<span class="emphasis"><em>%</em></span> wildcard is used alone it is identical
to using <span class="emphasis"><em>*</em></span> with maxsyslogins limit. With
a group specified after <span class="emphasis"><em>%</em></span> it limits the total
number of logins of all users that are member of the group.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
an uid range specified as <em class="replaceable"><code><min_uid></code></em><span class="emphasis"><em>:</em></span><em class="replaceable"><code><max_uid></code></em>. If min_uid
is omitted, the match is exact for the max_uid. If max_uid is omitted, all
uids greater than or equal min_uid match.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
a gid range specified as <span class="emphasis"><em>@</em></span><em class="replaceable"><code><min_gid></code></em><span class="emphasis"><em>:</em></span><em class="replaceable"><code><max_gid></code></em>. If min_gid
is omitted, the match is exact for the max_gid. If max_gid is omitted, all
gids greater than or equal min_gid match. For the exact match all groups including
the user's supplementary groups are examined. For the range matches only
the user's primary group is examined.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
a gid specified as <span class="emphasis"><em>%:</em></span><em class="replaceable"><code><gid></code></em> applicable
to maxlogins limit only. It limits the total number of logins of all users

All items support the values <span class="emphasis"><em>-1</em></span>,
<span class="emphasis"><em>unlimited</em></span> or <span class="emphasis"><em>infinity</em></span> indicating no limit,
except for <span class="emphasis"><em>priority</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>nice</em></span>.
</p><p>
If a hard limit or soft limit of a resource is set to a valid value,
but outside of the supported range of the local system, the system
may reject the new limit or unexpected behavior may occur. If the
control value <span class="emphasis"><em>required</em></span> is used, the module will
reject the login if a limit could not be set.
</p><p>
In general, individual limits have priority over group limits, so if
you impose no limits for <span class="emphasis"><em>admin</em></span> group, but one of
the members in this group have a limits line, the user will have its
limits set according to this line.
</p><p>
Also, please note that all limit settings are set
<span class="emphasis"><em>per login</em></span>. They are not global, nor are they
permanent; existing only for the duration of the session.
One exception is the <span class="emphasis"><em>maxlogin</em></span> option, this one
is system wide. But there is a race, concurrent logins at the same
time will not always be detected as such but only counted as one.
</p><p>
In the <span class="emphasis"><em>limits</em></span> configuration file, the
'<span class="emphasis"><em>#</em></span>' character introduces a comment
- after which the rest of the line is ignored.
</p><p>
The pam_limits module does report configuration problems
found in its configuration file and errors via <span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">syslog</span>(3)</span>.
