1 I'm playing around with grsecurity. Now I get lots of messages like this:
2
3 grsec: denied resource overstep by requesting 7499776 for RLIMIT_MEMLOCK against limit 32768 for
4 /usr/sbin/ntpd[ntpd:8525] uid/euid:123/123 gid/egid:123/123, parent /sbin/init[init:1] uid/euid:0/0
5 gid/egid:0/0
6
7 As far as I understand, ntpd is trying to allocate more memory than it is allowed due to resource
8 limits. The limit seems to be 32M while ntpd tries to allocate 7G (!) of RAM?
9
10 What is wrong here?
