Can someone explain the difference?
/etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf says:
@audio - rtprio 95
@audio - memlock unlimited
Thanks for this. I too am on a Debian system, so this is probably a
Debian-specific problem.
"ulimit" with no arguments prints the maximum file size limit, and is a
synonym for "ulimit -f".
To see all user limits, "ulimit -a". "ulimit -l" just prints the
maximum size of a memory locked segment in MB.
The behavior you are seeing is the same as mine: the limit setting in
/etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf is not being respected (assuming that
the user from which you printed that transcript is in the "audio" group).
I have opened a Debian bug report against the "libpam-modules" package
(containing pam_limits.so, the module that actually reads and applies
the /etc/security/limits.{conf,d} limits). We'll see what happens!
