Re: Increasing ulimit size.

Well, here's how a redhat system would do it:

Modify '/etc/security/limits.conf', and add a line similar to:

cyrus - nofile 10240

The user ('cyrus') goes in the first column. There is no 'hard' or 'soft' value for this limit, so the '-'. The 'nofile' is the number of open files the user can have. The number is the count.

For more details on this, read '/usr/share/doc/pam-*/txts/README.pam_limits'.
