When I run ulimit as root I am able to change root's available file
descriptors:

# ulimit -n 65536
# ulimit -n
65536

but this doesn't trickle down into the other users. I am really confused
about this, not too used to need to tune the kernel parameters. I really
need this raised for the other users on the system as well.

Thanks again,

Michael
