[CentOS] No ulimit for user

[Alan McKay]

Sorry for the frequent updates - but I also found this :

http://gnufreakz.wordpress.com/2009/08/12/increase-ulimit-in-centos/

which talks about setting

“fs.file-max = 65536″

in sysctl.conf

Does it have to be set in both sysctl.conf and the /etc/security/limits.conf?

If so, why?

thanks,
-Alan
