- greetd plus any greeter
login(1)provided by shadow-loginlogin(1)provided by util-linux-login
Warning: Login without PAM will still be possible. See #11730
ulimit
ulimit permissions can be changed via /etc/security/limits.conf. These will only apply if a PAM-compatible tool is used for logging in (as indicated above).
