Have you tried either logging off and logging back on or restarting the computer to make the new limits apply. As if im not mistaken they wont apply the moment you set them.

i found this text: "If it didn't, then your pam isn't loading the session limit module (or something else), you'll have to add a line like session required pam_limits.so to /etc/pam.d/login, /etc/pam.d/sshd, /etc/pam.d/su, and perhaps some others as well (cron???). But please be careful, since you can lock yourself out if you make a mistake, so be sure to keep 1 terminal logged in etc ."

so i add session required pam_limits.so to /etc/pam.d/login, /etc/pam.d/sshd, /etc/pam.d/su

but,


[email protected] [~/Unreal3.2]# ulimit -n
1024
[email protected] [~/Unreal3.2]#

Have you recompiled your kernel. The default FD_SETSIZE in default compile is 1024. You must change this number in two files and recompile kernel. Else when your IRCd hits user 1025 it will crash anyways. You can find this on google if you search right.

this the same question and the same answer you need to get more than 1024 users.
