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,

Of course. I didn't log out.
Set the limits as root, then start your daemon. It seems it will inherit the desired settings.
