My understanding is that the ulimit value is set once and for all (...and
for all users) ? I am not a Linux expert so I could totally be wrong here.

Regardless, whether I use sudo to fetch the value of ulimit or login as
root, I get the same number (65535)

sudo ulimit -n > 65535

su root > ulimit -n > 65535
