@akodd thanks for your report. Strangely enough, I haven't had any report like this at work. Guess peoples didn't upgrade their cluster yet :( And, of course, no mention of theses changes in releases notes :angry: Will dig into it with 9.2.0-7 which has been released

Should be fixed for both Ubuntu & Debian based flavors. Have an issue with Centos due to limits.conf which prevents:

Last login: Tue Apr 23 11:30:58 UTC 2019 on console
su: cannot open session: Permission denied```

Commenting out one line added by Vertica installer does the trick, but I see no way to get this embedded into Vertica python code in an easy way

I saw similar issue when running the image in a GitLab runner:

docker run --rm -t jbfavre/vertica:9.2.0-7_ubuntu-16.04

I also tried an old image jbfavre/vertica:8.0, and the result is the same.
