I'm trying to up the number of allowable open files for users. I've added
the following line to /etc/sysctl.conf:
- fs.file-max=65500
and then added the following lines to /etc/security/limits.conf:
- johndoe soft nofile 4096
- johndoe hard nofile 32768
Following a reboot, when johndoes logs in, he does a ulimit -H -n, but
still sees 1024. Likewise, when he does a ulimit -n 4096, he gets
"bash: ulimit: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted".
What am I missing?
Ignore the previous posting...something fell on my mouse!
Only root can change the "-n" limit. Normal users are not permitted.
