OK, I went searching the list archives on this one and found this, and tried it.
And now I can no longer log into the Centos 5.4 box. Even on the console.
Not a big deal since this is a VM running in my sandbox so I can blow
it away no problem.
But how do I increase my ulimit to unlimited?
I put in that file
* - nofile unlimited
and then rebooted the box
And can no longer log in
