Re: [HTCondor-users] is it Condor honoring /etc/security/limits.conf ?



Hi Gianmauro,

This statement is still true -- we still ignore these. When condor
runs as root it doesn't go through the login process where these
limits are processed.

Do you care about these limits for jobs, or for the condor daemons?
