Another possibly unrelated thought: if you have mangled with /etc/pam.d/login, you must make sure that it contains: session required pam_limits.so otherwise /etc/security/limits.conf gets ignored. You might also want to check if you have anything in /etc/security/limits.d Also, when you sets new limits the changes will apply only after you logout and login again. Also, you could check the system-wide file limit at /proc/sys/fs/file-max (unlikely to be a problem) Sorry if I have stated obvious facts at any point.
