Hello, I’m reading this article. And When reading the additional control flag, there be a repeat about include and substack:

include: include all lines of given type from the configuration file specified as an argument to this control.
substack: include all lines of a given type from the configuration file specified as an argument to this control.

As above, The Explain of include and substack is the same. I think It’s just a little mistake

I am using the PAM module in my project. While using the pam_limits library I found that when we set both maxlogins and maxsyslogins in /etc/security/limits.conf, Functionality whichever is declared first in /etc/security/limits.conf that functionality is not working. By looking into the pam_limit code what I found is that in pam_limits module functionality to support both configurations (maxlogins and maxsyslogins) at a time is not handled properly. Is it the really case ?? Or Is there something that I am missing. Any help is appreciated. Thank you,
