Preinstallation Tasks: 10g Release 2 (10.2) for Linux x86

Question

In the section:
Setting Shell Limits for the oracle User
of http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15660/pre_install.htm#BABCHAED
It says the following:
Add or edit the following line in the /etc/pam.d/login file, if it does not already exist:
session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so
session required pam_limits.so
Here is my /etc/pam.d/login file content:
#%PAM-1.0
auth required pam_securetty.so
auth required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
auth required pam_nologin.so
account required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
password required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
# pam_selinux.so close should be the first session rule
session required pam_selinux.so close
session required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session required pam_loginuid.so
session optional pam_console.so
# pam_selinux.so open should be the last session rule
session required pam_selinux.so open
Question:
do i add this at the end of the file?
session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so
session required pam_limits.so
Or change a line in my file? If yes, which line do i change?

If this line already exists, just edit it and change the value accordingly. If this line doesn't exist just add it. it doesn't matter where in the file it is located.
Personally I do it by script, I have to do it pretty frequently so it became a routine for me:
cp /etc/pam.d/login /etc/pam.d/login.bak
echo -e session    required\\t/lib/security/pam_limits.so >> /etc/pam.d/login~ Madrid.
