It depends on how you are becoming the mythtv user. Are you logging in
as mythtv and then starting the frontend? If so, the pam_limits.so line
goes in /etc/pam.d/login (it should be there by default). If you are
logging in as another user and using 'su mythtv -c "mythfrontend"' or
something of the sort, you need to have that line in /etc/pam.d/su. If
you login using kdm, it should be in /etc/pam.d/kdm. I don't know about
gdm, since the system I am currently on uses kdm, but you can look for
an /etc/pam.d/gdm file. Hope this helps.
