I was working on ciscocloud/microservices-infrastructure#775, and @stevendborrelli mentioned that we should add a check for this setting.

I don't know how feasible it is to check the number of open files for another user. It looks like lsof won't allow it if security mode is enabled [1]. I don't know of any other ways to list the number of open files.

[1]: From here: "If the symbol HASSECURITY is defined, a security mode is enabled, and lsof will allow only the root user to list all open files. Non-root users may list only open files whose processes have the same user ID as the real user ID of the lsof process (the one that its user logged on with)."
