puppet-limits

Manage user and group limits via Puppet

This module manages the limits of the PAM module pam_limits.

How to use

include ::limits

Compatibility

This module has been tested to work with Puppet v3 (with and without the future parser) and v4 with Ruby versions 1.8.7 (Puppet v3 only), 1.9.3, 2.0.0 and 2.1.0.

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!
