I don't have a clever idea. I am tempted to say "who cares", let's bump the limits just for building. Most OpenBSD deployments I see these days have a tweaked login.conf and sysctl.conf anyway because our default values don't work in the real world; so cranking limits for _pbuild makes sense imho. -- Antoine
