RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2013:0521 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Moderate: pam security, bug fix, and enhancement update 2013-02-20 21:28:50 UTC

Description Jacob Hunt 2011-07-19 16:25:11 UTC 
Document that the files in /etc/security/limits.d will overwrite the values set in /etc/security/limits.conf. This should be added as a comment in the limits.conf file. Also add mention of that directory in the manpage for limits.conf.
Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2011-07-19 16:38:11 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.
Comment 2 Tomas Mraz 2011-07-19 17:03:01 UTC 
The processing of the limits.d is mentioned in the pam_limits manual page so I do not think this is really a bug but rather a feature request to mention it at more places.
Comment 3 Jacob Hunt 2011-07-19 17:12:58 UTC 
Tomas,

You are correct it is more of a feature request as opposed to a bug and I should have noted it as such, my apologies on not doing so to help clarify this request.

Comment 6 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 05:48:24 UTC 
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 7 Ludek Smid 2012-07-10 15:17:28 UTC 
This request was erroneously removed from consideration in
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under
development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion
in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.
