[chef] Re: Re: Re: RE: setting file handler limits

Actually - that was easier than I thought: http://community.opscode.com/cookbooks/ulimit

It provides a user_ulimit resource that allows you to add ulimit overrides for processes and filehandles for specific users. It also does the right thing for Ubuntu, where ulimit overrides for the 'su' command is actually disabled by default.

I actually just wrote one the other day, but I have no idea how to share it. It's quite simple, and provides user_ulimit as a resource.

I'll ask my coworker and get it uploaded.

AJ - that's cool for sysctl, but I don't think it addresses
user-session file handler limits.

I haven't seen a cookbook out there yet that does templated/lwrp
/etc/security/limits.d/*.conf files yet - might be worth writing one.
