KRNL-5820: Add support for openSUSE's alternative security/limits.conf path #1264

Open rfrohl opened 2 years ago

rfrohl commented 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. openSUSE distros (MicroOS, Tumbleweed) provide an alternative way to update the system, called atomic updates. Part of this feature are alternative paths for config files under /usr/etc.

Describe the solution you'd like KRNL-5730 should be able to detect limits.conf in none default locations, like /usr/etc/security/limits.conf.

Required changes KRNL-5730 needs to check under /usr/etc/security/ for a limits.conf too.

Additional context Details about the move to /usr/etc
