If it weren't so they'd have little enforcement value. It looks like you're using "csh" (or perhaps zsh) but for people using Bash the equivalent command is "ulimit". To control the initial setting of limits please see the file: "/etc/security/limits.conf". The format is rather straight forward and is explained well within the file. You can set any limit value per user, per group or for everyone.
