Hi;
I believe the program you would want to modify would be
the 'login' program. This can be provided by different
packages-- eg. if you use PAM, you will have a pam'ified login.
Slackware seems to use the login program provided by the shadow
package. (Actually, for people that dont care about PAM, a
modified login program might be a simpler solution-- I dont know
what the other ramifications of that might be offhand though;)

The shadow login would use /etc/limits, which exists on the
slackware box I have access to. (there is a man page for limits(5))

ps. In theory is it possible to have a Gentoo system without PAM, in
which case the shadow packages login would also be used.
Some distros, like Slackware do not use pam. How
could this patch still
be used?
Whatever deals with /etc/limits.conf will need to be patched. I can
probably come up with a patch if you can point me to the sources.
