2.2.24 Oracle RDBMS Server 11gR2 Preinstall Settings Not Visible After Installation

On an x86-64 system, if you install the pam.i386 package either manually or via a package dependency, and the oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall package is also selected, this overwrites the settings for Oracle Database in /etc/security/limits.conf. This is most likely to occur during a Kickstart-automated installation that includes non-standard packages. To restore the settings, run the oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall-verify script.
