default ulimit lock value?
 

How can I set a default "ulimit -l" value for a specific user or even system wide default on slackware?

There is a way to do that with PAM, but slack doesn't use that.

Ok .. I found out that this can be done with /etc/limits, but it doesn't seem to work when I ssh in. Any help?

Assuming user's shell is bash

system wide : /etc/profile
user specific : ~/.bash_profile

well ... only root can change some of the limits so that doesn't really work.

Thanks for the idea thou. Any more?

I would make different groups in this case,
each with different ulimit settings, then
I check the GID's in the /etc/profile script
and I adjust the ulimit accordingly...

Just an idea, or maybe if it is for a few
users, just adjust the ulimit with an UID check

If you want it to work with ssh and other things, you need to build them all with PAM support. Then use /etc/security/limits.conf.
