puppet-limits

Manage user and group limits via Puppet

This module manages the limits of the PAM module pam_limits.

How to use

Purge limits.d directory

The class limits will purge the limit.d directory as default. You can explicit change this with the parameter purge_limits_d_dir or just do not call the class.

	class { 'limits': }

    limits::limits { 'username_nofile':
      ensure     => present,
      user       => 'username',
      limit_type => 'nofile',
      hard       => 16384,
      soft       => 16384,
    }

Do NOT purge limits.d directory explicit

    class { 'limits':
      purge_limits_d_dir => false,
    }

    limits::limits { 'username_nofile':
      ensure     => present,
      user       => 'username',
      limit_type => 'nofile',
      hard       => 16384,
    }

Set both limit types in one line

    limits::limits { 'username_nofile':
      ensure     => present,
      user       => 'username',
      limit_type => 'nofile',
      both       => 16384,
    }

One of hard, soft or both must be set!
