The ideal thing is if you extend the ulimit in /etc/security/limits.conf,
put the ulimit command in /etc/profile.  Then you don't need to fix any
scripts.

Some of the system startup scripts won't like it and complain because
they aren't all run as root, and don't all read /etc/profile, and some
happen before the extension in limits.conf, but generally you'll be
happier.
