Hi All,
I seem to have a problem changing the number of open files a user can have. I
want to set it above the 1024 for an application I am running. When I modify
the file /etc/security/limits.conf so that the user "verity" has the lines
something like this:
verity soft nofile 10000
verity hard nofile 20000
But when I login again and try to use ulimit as the user I get the error:
bash: ulimit: cannot modify open files limit: Operation not permitted
or
bash: ulimit: cannot modify open files limit: Invalid argument
Does any one have any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks,
--
