Hello there,

we are currently setting up machines for use by our members and while 
examining set limits we found a user's hard limit is not set and he can
actually eat all the system's filedescriptors instead of the defined 64. 
We hacked init to enforce sane limits :-} but suppose there is a good 
solution for this.

Conrad.
