Description Marius Schamschula 2019-10-29 06:24:53 MDT

After updating to sudo 1.8.29 for MacPorts, I get the following message when invoking sudo:

sudo: setrlimit(8): Invalid argument

Also see: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/59513

This message is seen by multiple macOS versions. The ticket reporter is running 10.7.5, while my build machine has 10.14.6.

Avoid setrlimit warnings on macOS

macOS does not allow rlim_cur to be set to RLIM_INFINITY for RLIMIT_NOFILE.
We need to use OPEN_MAX instead as per the macOS setrlimit manual.
