Currently, our /etc/security/limits.conf has the following entry:
smuser - nofile 8192
However, when we see how many file descriptors the policy server is using (using the 'smpolicysrv -stats' command),
we see the following:
Server 'Stats' command received
[6776/139631865247488][Fri Mar 22 2019 15:30:01][CServer.cpp:4840][INFO][sm-Server-01990] ===================================================================================

The policy server reports 4096 and not 8192
This is happening in Red Hat 7 with policy server R12.8SP2.
In Red Hat 6 with policy server 12.6, we did not see this behavior. We would see the full usage of 8192.
Has anyone seen this behavior? Any ideas?
