Setting user limits for shadow login program
|
|
|
|
First, make a root-only-readable file (/etc/limits by default or LIMITS_FILE
|
|
defined config.h) that describes the resource limits you wish to impose. By
|
|
default no quotas are imposed on 'root'. In fact, there is no way to impose
|
|
limits via this procedure to root-equiv accounts (accounts with UID 0).
|
|
|
|
Each line describes a limit for a user in the form:
|
|
|
|
user LIMITS_STRING
|
|
|
|
The LIMITS_STRING is a string of a concatenated list of resource limits.
|
|
Each limit consists of a letter identifier followed by a numerical limit.
|
|
The valid identifiers are:
|
|
|
|
A: max address space (KB)
|
|
C: max core file size (KB)
|
|
D: max data size (KB)
|
|
F: maximum filesize (KB)
|
|
M: max locked-in-memory address space (KB)
|
|
N: max number of open files
|
|
R: max resident set size (KB)
|
|
S: max stack size (KB)
|
|
T: max CPU time (MIN)
|
|
U: max number of processes
|
|
L: max number of logins for this user
|
|
|
|
For example, L2D2048N5 is a valid LIMITS_STRING. For reading convenience,
|
|
the following entries are equivalent:
|
|
|
|
username L2D2048N5
|
|
username L2 D2048 N5
|
|
|
|
Be aware that after <username> the rest of the line is considered a limit
|
|
string, thus comments are not allowed. A invalid limits string will be
|
|
rejected (not considered) by the login program.
|
|
|
|
The default entry is denoted by username '*'. If you have multiple 'default'
|
|
entries in your LIMITS_FILE, then the last one will be used as the default
|
|
entry.
|
|
|
|
To completely disable limits for a user, a single dash (-) will do.
|
|
|
|
Also, please note that all limit settings are set PER LOGIN. They are
|
|
not global, nor are they permanent. Perhaps global limits will come, but
|
|
for now this will have to do ;)
