The ideal thing is if you extend the ulimit in /etc/security/limits.conf, put the ulimit command in /etc/profile. Then you don't need to fix any scripts. Some of the system startup scripts won't like it and complain because they aren't all run as root, and don't all read /etc/profile, and some happen before the extension in limits.conf, but generally you'll be happier. -- Del
