That's expected: /etc/init.d/squid doesn't honors limits.conf. But you changed the limit for all users, root will get then and so will squid when started. That's why I told you to put an ulimit command on /etc/sysconfig/squid, so you can increase the limit just for squid and not for the whole system. []s, Fernando Lozano
