What command needs access to /etc/security/limits.conf, and is denied?
atd. It's running as user "at", and it doesn't have permission to read limits.conf.
That's not possible. Every program in the system has to be applied the limits, imposed on it, they can not read that file. Ok, I'll try. nimrodel:/etc/security # l total 56 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 5 00:52 ./ drwxr-xr-x 107 root root 12288 Jul 8 13:40 ../ - -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2494 May 29 15:04 access.conf - -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 851 Apr 23 04:35 chroot.conf - -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13 May 2 16:33 fileshare.conf - -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3450 May 29 15:04 group.conf - -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2196 Jul 5 00:50 limits.conf - -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1772 May 18 2005 limits.conf~ - -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3088 May 29 15:04 pam_env.conf - -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 318 Apr 23 04:35 pam_pwcheck.conf - -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 945 Apr 23 04:35 pam_unix2.conf - -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2180 May 29 15:04 time.conf It works! Now atd runs. Weird... it worked in 9.3. I have just checked my backup of 9.3, and it certainly was -rw-------
Why is it 600 anyway? Mine is 644, I don't believe there are any secrets kept in there
I got lost. I always use permissions verbose, in letters, not numbers. Less human translation and error ;-) Ah, I understand your question now. Why did I have it as 600? I don't remember. I don't know if I did it myself, or if it was that way originally. I know edited that file; perhaps the editor changed the permissions. In any case, it worked in 9.3. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
