His point is that any limits set in &#171;/etc/security/limits.d/&#187; overrides the &#171;limits.conf&#187; file.

&gt;<i> and in fact I'm not sure what is responsible for processing limits.d/* as limits.conf says nothing about it (Fedora's is the exact same as ours).  
</I>
We should add some comments in &#171;/etc/security/limits.conf&#187; about it.

&gt;<i> Anyway, one way or another it would be nice to have this limit set by default on Mageia, IMHO.  WDYT?
</I>
I think we should have this.
