can't log in

[shinydonut]

When I try to telnet into my Solaris 2.7 server, after I type my username, I get an error that says "too many files open". I go into /etc/system and change the rlim_fd_max and rlim_fd_cur to 4096 and 1024, respectively, and reboot the server. When I try to log in again, after typing in my username, the server just hangs there and never gives me a password prompt! All other services such as HTTP and FTP work normally, but I can't log into the server. Does anyone know what's going on here???

Thanks,
Rich
