Package: I am not sure which package this breaks but I would assume
everything that looks for pam_limits would be broken
Version: Latest Stable

I setup a limit in /etc/security/limits.conf in various ways, I have tried
the following to date:

* - nofile 65535

AND

* - hard nofile 65535
* - soft nofile 32768

Once I modify the limits.conf file to include one of the following I reboot
the server. After the reboot I do a ulimit -n and get 1024 as the output
which is the default. I have tried the exact similar setup on an older
server and it works fine. I have tried this on a couple of servers but all
have the same issue, even with a default install. Here is some output,

hostname:~# grep nofile /etc/security/limits.conf
#        - nofile - max number of open files
*       hard    nofile  65535
*       soft    nofile  32768
hostname:~# ulimit -n
1024

Please note that server was rebooted after modifying the limits.conf file.

This is the first bug I have reported and I am aware that the bug report is
not clean but I would appreciate it if you could look in to this.

Regards
