Description Bill Nottingham 2004-07-30 19:28:04 UTC 
By default, we permit non-root mlock of up to 4k.

gpg tries to lock 32k, and fails.

We could either:

a) try to fix gpg to work with 4k
b) bump the limit in /etc/security/limits.conf
Comment 1 Rik van Riel 2004-08-17 15:41:49 UTC 
The limit should probably be bumped to 32kB, in /etc/security/limits.conf

That way we can:
1) test the mlock patch better
2) see if there are issues with eg. sshd not obeying the limits in
/etc/security/limits.conf
Comment 2 Arjan van de Ven 2004-09-26 13:17:59 UTC 
kernel defaults to 32k btw
Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2004-09-26 18:58:45 UTC 
And, it actually works now.
