Problem with oracle ulimit on RedHat AS 3

Dear usenet,

I need help with the linux bash command: ulimit.

When I run it from my oracle account,
I see this:

ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536
bash: ulimit: max user processes: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted

I'd like to get the command working.

According to my Oracle docs I need to edit 2 files:

Add the following lines to /etc/security/limits.conf file:

• soft nproc 2047
• hard nproc 16384
• soft nofile 2048
• hard nofile 65536

Add the following line to the /etc/pam.d/login file:

session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so

So, I edited the above 2 files and then rebooted.

I still get the ulimit error.

Anyone out there see this problem and know how to fix it?

Here is info about my redhat AS:

Linux royal.pain.com 2.4.21-27.0.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Dec 24 01:28:09 GMT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
