SUMMARY: ulimit problem

[Binand Sethumadhavan <binand@xxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

Thanks are due to Joshua Penix, who pointed me to:

http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=115442

Briefly, this is a side-effect of the privilege separation feature of
sshd. Options are to turn this feature off, or to make sure the limits
are elevated before sshd is run in /etc/init.d/sshd. I chose the latter
option.

PS: Initial query:

> [username@allison username]$ ulimit -n
> 8192
> [username@allison username]$ ssh localhost ulimit -n
> 1024
> 
> I have to make sure that the username ID can open 8192 descriptors. This
> bug is killing me :(
> 
> The OS is Redhat Enterprise Linux 3.0.
