new maximum open files limit - ignored?
I've tried various things to increase the per-uer maximum open files limit from 1024 to something higher. I've read all the threads on this topic here.
I've tried:
bryce@linux> cat /etc/security/limits.conf
* hard nofile 2048
bryce hard nofile 2048
bryce@linux:~> ulimit -n 4000
bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted
linux:/home/bryce # cat /etc/initscript
ulimit -n 2047
linux:/home/bryce # cat /etc/pam.d/login
#%PAM-1.0
auth required pam_securetty.so
auth include common-auth
auth required pam_nologin.so
auth required pam_mail.so
account include common-account
password include common-password
session include common-session
session required pam_resmgr.so
session required pam_limits.so
But I still seem limited to 1024 open files:
bryce@linux:~> ulimit -a
core file size (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited
file size (blocks, -f) unlimited
max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 32
max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files (-n) 1024 <-------
pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8
stack size (kbytes, -s) unlimited
cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes (-u) 6143
virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited
Event after reboot.
How can I get the OS to respect my nofile limit?
