ulimit issue

[spivy66]

Hey All

I have a problem with a user other then root. I'm trying to set ulimit -n 20000 in my .bashrc or even my .bash_profile for that user but everytime i log off it tells me I don't have permission. How can I have this save on boot?...

-bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted

How much is the limit normally?

ulimit -n

I guess, normally there is a hardlimit, which you can't exceed.

Modifying /etc/security/limits.conf as root might help.
