Why configuration in limits.conf does not work in Redhat 7
Answer
Using limits.conf, you can limit how many resources various users and groups are allocated. However /etc/security/limits.conf does not work if systemd exists (it exists most of the time in Redhat 7). The files /etc/systemd/system.conf, /etc/systemd/user.conf, and /etc/systemd/<systemd_unit>/override.conf would control the limit. See systemd-system.conf man page for details.
