    Go on, have a guess
    It's usually set in /etc/profile and /etc/bashrc

    so far i've changed the value in bashrc, profile, limit.csh, limit.sh, and nothing has changed it.

    Are you logging out and back in again ;) Have you also checked the users own .bash_profile or .bashrc if they have one?

    i have logged out and logged in again. Also none of my users have their own .bashrc or .bash_profile files.

    After updating /etc/profile with the ulimit -n 16384 line - try rebooting your server.

    Tryed.. Not working. one of the cpanel techs told me that this has nothing to do with cpanel at all, and that i need to use the ulimit command.

    -bash-2.05b$ ulimit -n 10000
    -bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted
    -bash-2.05b$


    I ran that under the user i want the ulimit to go up for.
