File size limit exceeded
This happens because pam_limits sets RLIMIT_FSIZE before pam_lastlog
attempts to write /var/log/lastlog, leading to a SIGXFSZ signal.
In order to fix this, and an 'unlimited' option, which leads to saving
the 'fsize' limit and set it to unlimited before writing lastlog. After
that, restore the saved value. If 'fsize' is already unlimited nothing
is done.
Failing to set the 'fsize' limit is not a fatal error. With luck the
configured limit will suffice, so we try to write lastlog anyway, even
under the risk of dying due to a SIGXFSZ.
Failing to restore the 'fsize' limit is a fatal error, since we don't
want to keep it unlimited.
