Of course running > ulimit -n 4096 as root at the command line works, so I am guessing the > reason it's not taking effect with login is runit related... I don't think so. The wiki page you're reading is about OpenBSD 5.4-current, I assume it has been written before this change: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade54.html#login.conf Add an "openfiles-max" entry (>= 4096) or just use "openfiles" to specify both. Note that the value for "default" and "staff" have since been bumped to 512. Also I'd advise against using /etc/login.conf.db, it's only useful for very large sites, it just gets in the way elsewhere. -- jca | PGP : 0x1524E7EE / 5135 92C1 AD36 5293 2BDF DDCC 0DFA 74AE 1524 E7EE
