Check the glibc development mailing list for details.
The new rlimits
are supported in their development branch IIRC.
I have patched pam packages for debian sarge on
techweb.rfa.org/debrfa/
which seem to be working fine for me with 2.6.13.
PAM is supposed to get the list of rlimits from glibc. Patching PAM
directly is just a hack/workaround.
And don't forget all the shells. The `ulimits' command is a shell
built-in. For full support all new resources need to be added there,
as well. I wonder if they get it from glibc, too? Sigh!
