Hi,
I am running "Linux [hidden] 2.4.25-bf2.4 #1 SMP Wed Mar 10 10:35:09 PST
2004 i686 unknown" and would like to know how to raise a user accounts
max file descriptors (FDs, shown via ulimit -n) from the default 1024 to
4096, to allow an IRC daemon more permitted open files.
After adding the lines:
ircd hard nofile 4096
ircd soft nofile 4096
to /etc/security/limits.conf at the end of the file (they are not
commented out), and re-logging into the ircd user terminal and typing:
ulimit -n
The count still appears as 1024, not the new 4096 figure.
What am I doing wrong?
Any help is appreciated,

I'm using kernel-2.4.26-1 and repeat the text above. After close the 
session and log again the default values (1024) appears.
