This is definitely true. The init script came from the Asterisk folks (we're not using a package modified to behave specifically with RHEL/CentOS) and would get over-written on upgrade. Seems like the brokenness is the behavior of init ignoring /etc/security/limits.conf, to my way of thinking anyway. -- Nate Duehr denverpilot at me.com
