Bug Description
Having the limits file world readable will ease the task of system
management on systems where root privileges might be restricted.
Having admin restricted with root priviledges, he/she could not check
other users process' limits.
Also it'd align with most of the /proc stat files.
Can this patch be applied to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS ?
