Hi Kaushal,
Limits that you set in /etc/security/limits.conf are applied by the
pam_limits.so PAM module. The PAM stack is configured in the various
files you can find under /etc/pam.d/. Explaining how to configure PAM
would be a bit long, so I refer you to the Linux PAM System
Administrator Guide I linked to in my previous post for further details.
That being said, I am afraid my last post was misleading, because PAM do
not apply to daemons and services started by init AFAIK. As such, I am
not sure how you would impose ulimit on daemon, but that is surely not
through /etc/security/limits.conf. I will leave it to someone else to
suggest a proper approach for your use-case.
Sorry about that!
