On RedHat or PAM enabled distribution, take a look at /etc/security/limits.conf. clocker1996 03-30-2002, 12:19 AM How can i see if pam is enabled priyadi 03-30-2002, 07:02 AM Originally posted by clocker1996 How can i see if pam is enabled What's your o/s? But generally, if you have the file unix_chkpwd or pwdb_chkpwd on your system then your system is PAM enabled. clocker1996 03-30-2002, 03:10 PM =\ I did this: in my /etc/security/limits.conf # End of file tom hard maxlogins 1 then i ssh'ed in more than once as tom and it worked Maybe i need to compile ssh with pam support? bitserve 03-31-2002, 05:40 AM Originally posted by clocker1996 ...i ssh'ed in more than once as tom and it worked Maybe i need to compile ssh with pam support? Did you add pam_limits.so to the pam service file for ssh (usually /etc/pam.d/sshd)? |
