The PAM limits prerequisite

dimitri_p

On here
https://docs.vertica.com/25.1.x/en/setup/set-up-on-premises/before-you-install/automatically-configured-os-settings/pam-limits/

the documentation states:

The installer automatically configures the correct setting if the default value does not meet system requirements.

However, specifically with this issue:

FAIL (S0070): https://docs.vertica.com/25.1.x/HTML/index.htm#cshid=S0070
FAIL(eS0070): /etc/pam.d/su does not include a directive to require
pam_limits.so

the installer will not even start because of it, failing the prerequisites check.

Would that be a mistake in the documentation or am I doing something wrong?
