there's file called /etc/login.conf which describes login classes (you can change your login class with vipw or with 'passwd anyuser' from root). If login class field is empty it means "default". in "default" we have :maxproc=unlimited: but, make sure you "login" way uses login_cap (which means it read /etc/login.conf), for example xdm simply ignores it at all :-( if you need more processes than "unlimited" recompile your kernel, have a look at LINT.
