Dear Maintainer, pam_limit.so is installed but for some reason, it is not included into /etc/pam.d/common-session. This means that there is no possibility to define system wide or per-user limitations. Please add the module to the common-session file to make it available. *** End of the template - remove these template lines ***
I think it would be valuable to get pam_limits into common-session. I think the reason we didn't do it back in the day was that we didn't have as clear of a common-session vs common-session-noninteractive distinction. That said, I think it's way too late in the bullseye cycle to do this. I'm writing to say that as someone reasonably familiar with PAM, I think this is worth doing early in a release cycle where we can shake out the problems. Doing this would probably involve adding in common-session and filing bugs against pam services that include common-session suggesting that they remove.
