Operating Systems Linux SuSE Setting the max open files value Post 302184442 by reborg on Friday 11th of April 2008 01:01:05 PM

That looks like everything to me.

You don't have any "sufficient" modules earlier in the list in those pam configuration files by any chance?

I don't have a SLES server handy, but on SuSE I have exactly that configuration and it is working correctly.

/etc/security/limits:
Code:
#@student        -       maxlogins       4
*	soft	nofile	64000	
*	hard	nofile	64000
# End of file

/etc/pam.d/sshd:
Code:
auth     required       pam_unix2.so	# set_secrpc
auth     required       pam_nologin.so
auth     required       pam_env.so
account  required       pam_unix2.so
account  required	pam_nologin.so
password required       pam_pwcheck.so
password required       pam_unix2.so	use_first_pass use_authtok
session  required       pam_unix2.so	none # trace or debug
session  required       pam_limits.so

Result:
Code:
# ulimit -n 
64000

A reboot is not needed, just a new login session when you change this.

NAME
paps - UTF-8 to PostScript converter using Pango SYNOPSIS
paps [options] files... DESCRIPTION
paps reads a UTF-8 encoded file and generates a PostScript language rendering of the file. The rendering is done by creating outline curves through the pango ft2 backend. OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. --landscape Landscape output. Default is portrait. --columns=cl Number of columns output. Default is 1. --font=desc Set the font description. Default is Monospace 12. --rtl Do rtl layout. --paper ps Choose paper size. Known paper sizes are legal, letter, a4. Default is A4. --bottom-margin=bm Set bottom margin in postscript points (1/72 inch). Default is 36. --top-margin=tm Set top margin. Default is 36. --left-margin=lm Set left margin. Default is 36. --right-margin=rm Set right margin. Default is 36. --help Show summary of options. --header Draw page header for each page. --markup Interpret the text as pango markup. --encoding=ENCODING Assume the documentation encoding is ENCODING. --lpi Set the lines per inch. This determines the line spacing. --cpi Set the characters per inch. This is an alternative method of specifying the font size. --stretch-chars Indicates that characters should be stretched in the y-direction to fill up their vertical space. This is similar to the texttops behaviour. AUTHOR
