In default, sshd (openssh) has no pam support enabled in config file, therefore it doesn't respect limits set in limits.conf file, making the box vulnerable to forkbombs (remote users can bomb the box even with sane limits set). Thus, I suggest sedding the sshd_config file while the build process, setting UsePam to Yes (and probably ChallengeResponseAuthentication to No as well, to make sshd use only account and sessions pam modules) in order to enable pam.

This task depends upon
