| Doc Text: |
The vsftpd daemon sets a value of the RLIMIT_AS variable during its initialization phase. With Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1, the RLIMIT_AS value (100 MB) became insufficient which restricted LDAP users from authentication to the system using vsftpd. With this update, the initial RLIMIT_AS value has been increased to 200 MB, and vsftpd now can be used for LDAP authentication as expected.
