    increase nofile limit for daemon?

    I'm looking for recommendations on how to increase the nofile limit for a daemon running as other than root. Does anyone else do this? It'd be nice if I could employ /etc/security/limits.conf.

    Thanks.

    Lou.

    After some searching if you still don't know what you are looking at let us know.

    Frankly, I did a lot of searching before posting here without much success - perhaps I'm not a very good searcher.

    I did discover on RHEL 5.3 that su to a user with a nofile limit defined is effective. This was not so on a Debian host I tried. I don't have an answer that works for a mixed Linux host environment - that is, consistent across Linux OS platforms.
