Heya,

	I'm planning to run an ircd off of one of the machines at work,
and I need to compile it with 1024 file descriptors.  Unfortunately,  a
limit turns up:

[sean@whitestar]-~> limit
cputime         unlimited
filesize        unlimited
datasize        524288 kbytes
stacksize       65536 kbytes
coredumpsize    unlimited
memoryuse       32768 kbytes
descriptors     360
memorylocked    unlimited
maxproc         179             

	I am in the class 'root'.  I need to be able to use 1024 file
descriptors, and 'unlimit' doesn't do anything. :/  Ideas?
