Hi, 

I'm trying to set ulimit -u to unlimited system wide. But it is not working 
for me.. 

I put the following in /etc/security/limits.conf
*               hard    nproc           unlimited


The following in /etc/pam.d/login & /etc/pam.d/sshd
session    required     pam_limits.so

I restarted sshd and still I log on and get: 
max user processes              (-u) 65536

What's the haps..
