My server is linux mint 9, and I'm trying to mount an ecryptfs partition with fstab. The comments on the bug say I need to increase my "memlock"

(Comment #6, and #7)
So I've been looking at /etc/security/limits.conf to try and figure out how I can increase the memlock:
Code:
dirac ~ # cat /etc/security/limits.conf | grep -vP '^#'
* hard memlock 128
root hard memlock 128
isaac hard memlock 128
isaac soft memlock 32768
As far as I can tell, editing this file does nothing. I must be missing something.
When I log in as either root or isaac, the memlock is still 64:
Code:
dirac ~ # ulimit -l
64
isaac@dirac:/root$ ulimit -l
64
When I'm root, I can change the limit to 128, but it's only for the length of my login. When I'm 'isaac' I naturally get errors.
The man page says:

Also, please note that all limit settings are set per login. They are not global, nor are they permanent; existing only for the duration of the session.

Which makes me think that logging out and back in should reset it, but it doesn't.
Code:
dirac ~ # ps -ef | grep isaac
root 20901 20842 0 23:22 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --colour=auto isaac
dirac ~ # su isaac
isaac@dirac:/root$ ulimit -l
64
The one thing I haven't done yet is restart the server, but I'm interested in finding out if there's a way to fix this short of restarting.
