It would be nice if somebody managed to find where this is patched in Debian. Because I somewhat doubt that they made this change without a proper discussion. And Debian is very much server oriented.
Can we not have the RPM package drop a file in /etc/security/limits.d to set the limit only when that package is installed? That way it only affects users of that package.
That only affects stuff that goes through PAM (specifically, all PAM stacks that include pam_limits.so).
It is my intention to change this system wide, i.e. for system services (which do not go through PAM) too.
