I think that is an invalid config, just set the limit to something
really high
# ulimit -n unlimited
-bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted
Looks like somewhere around the 1 million mark is the max, can't
imagine why anyone would have a system that would have so many
files open.. The max I allow any user is 10,000 which seems
reasonable.
