From 3036e7b490bf7878c6dae952eec5fb87b1106589 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Olsa Date: Thu, 30 Sep 2010 15:15:33 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] proc: make /proc/pid/limits world readable Having the limits file world readable will ease the task of system management on systems where root privileges might be restricted. Having admin restricted with root priviledges, he/she could not check other users process' limits. Also it'd align with most of the /proc stat files.
