Pam Update, security pam_limits and 64 bit libs

ok, so, you have an x64 server and you updated pam, and you want to use pam_limits - cool story. until you try to login...and you're like, why isn't it working? because you added the line:

session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so

to /etc/pam.d/login

but you CAN login remotely and you check your log files and see 'Module unknown' when someone tries to login locally. This is because you're a 64bit server using a 32bit library...from /lib...so change that line to

session required /lib64/security/pam_limits.so

Then local logins work. =)
