I'm trying to write a program that deals with a
couple of thousand descriptors and I'm confused
about how limits is reporting what should be
derived from login.conf.

Trying a both a "default" and "root" class user,
I've set openfiles-cur/max to 1024 but when I
type `limit` or `limits` it reports 360 as the
openfiles limits.

When I grep for `openfiles` in /etc/login.conf
I find no occurences of 360.  Where did it come
from?

How/should get/setrlimit work? when I call 
getrlimit it reports a max of 360 and cur of 0?

thanx,
-g
