From what I hear, Slackware doesn't use pam, which is responsible for handling limits.conf. You'll need to install PAM in order to use it.

Not exactly a security question, and it can be done
without PAM, Pat doesn't include it for a reason ;) Have a read of man bash /ulimit Cheers, Tink |
Tinkster: What is the reason it's not included? Do you know?
I personally like PAM quite a bit. :) |

PAM in order to avoid the existing or up-coming exploits. I can't comment on the validity of that point of view since I haven't followed PAMs security history over the last 2 years, but I've always lived by and prospered under the credo of "In Pat We Trust". :) Cheers, Tink |
I think with the ever-growing usage of PAM it will become even more secure and stable. Additionally, migrating a full network to LDAP authentication would be nearly impossible without PAM, as I understand it.
However, I respect Pat and his reasoning. To each their own. |

lol. Not even all services neccessarily work with NIS/NIS+.
