I have restrictions on openfiles and maxprocesses set up in my login.conf
for my users.  But I find this is causing problems whenever I have to restart
a system daemon (apache, sendmail, idled, etc).  When these processes start
at bootup, they run just fine w/out issue.  But if they ever need to be 
restarted they tend to die in a matter of hours.  When these processes are 
restarted they're by a user in a class called 'staff' that has it's own 
login.conf setup.  I've tried while su'ed with the -c option, and while 
su'ed with 'su - root', both with no results.  here's the relevant parts
of my /etc/login.conf:
