I was amazed at how obscure the documentation for this was since I knew
how to do it but just wanted to quote the right manual page...anyways the
file /etc/default/login can contain a value for ULIMIT. If you put a line
that says ULIMIT=4096 in this file and then log in again, you will have
a file limit of 4 meg. The man page is default(F).
