It's not, you should use questions@freebsd.org - this list is only for
reporting bugs.  Please see http://www.freebsd.org for more
information on which mailing lists are appropriate for which topics.

As to the process open file limit, it depends on your shell, but bash
allows you to set it easily with the `ulimit' command:

jkh@time-> ulimit -a 
core file size (blocks)  unlimited
data seg size (kbytes)   65536
file size (blocks)       unlimited
max memory size (kbytes) 93612
stack size (kbytes)      8192
cpu time (seconds)       unlimited
max user processes       339
pipe size (512 bytes)    1
open files               64
virtual memory (kbytes)  73728
jkh@time-> ulimit -n 100
jkh@time-> ulimit -a
core file size (blocks)  unlimited
data seg size (kbytes)   65536
file size (blocks)       unlimited
max memory size (kbytes) 93612
stack size (kbytes)      8192
cpu time (seconds)       unlimited
max user processes       339
pipe size (512 bytes)    1
open files               100
virtual memory (kbytes)  73728
