This is an issue in the pam login method. If you just put the line
"session required pam_limits.so" in /etc/pam.d/login you will get
your limits set for telnet and SSH, but NOT xdm (graphical interface).
Edit the file /etc/pam.d/xdm and put the line "session required
pam_limits.so" and log in and out. The as oracle do a ulimit -a to
check.
 
Thank you,

I am trying to install Enterprise Manager Grid Control on my SLES9
server into an existing 10.1.0.4 repository database, it gets thru the
Repository Creation Assistant and fails after it install the repository
schema (SYSMAN), it is checking for the EM schema. I have had an issue
with Oracle Support and thought I would go to a higher source of
information. They have a "validate" script that reads my environment
and they won't work with me until it passes me.
 
Here is my problem:
 
I have been trying to change the values of nofiles and nuproc in order
to get Oracle Support to move my TAR to the correct group. They demand
nofile for the oracle user to be 4096 and nuproc to be 16384, I have
tried following the instructions on their Quick Install guide:
 
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/html/B15521_01/toc.htm
 
in section 8 it describes the process they think will work
 
i.e.
1- edit /etc/security/limits
2- edit /etc/pam.d/login
3- edit /etc/profile.login - which I had to create new for this
 
What is the correct process to modify the parameters?? This list has
provided better support lately than Oracle.
 
Thanks
