The QuickStart guide tells you to modify /etc/security/limits.conf to up these limits in addition to in your bash profile (or the equivalent for the shell you're running). I ran into trouble when using ssh due to privsep. Essentially, the /etc/security/limits.conf settings won't take effect if you're ssh'ing into the machine. I worked around this by adding: ulimit -u 16384
ulimit -n 16384

to /etc/init.d/sshd in the start() function.
