Okay, so the openfiles settings was completely overridden (for class staff) by the openfiles-max and openfiles-cur settings...but the -cur value was 1024 too. So, you _should_ be seeing a value of 1024. Indeed, if I copy your exact 'staff' and 'default' classes into my system's login.conf and then login on another virtual terminal, I get 1024. So, the next questions are things like "do you have ulimit lines in any (whether system or per-user) of your shell startup files?" "How _exactly_ are you logging in: console virtual terminal, xdm, ssh, other?" Philip Guenther
