I did it before:

in /etc/security/limits.conf, but it doesn't work at all - I still have #ulimit -n 1024 #ulimit -Hn 1024
Any other ideas?
The above does not change the default. It will allow you to do:
ulimit -Hn 16384
once you are logged in. Also note that fs.file-max defaults to 209632 on CentOS-3 (at least that's what it is on my system).
