These are default BSD values, which usually (unless im dealing with a
_really_ busy webserver) isn't a bit problem:

euforia# su - _tor
$ tcsh
> limit
cputime      unlimited
filesize     unlimited
datasize     524288 kbytes
stacksize    65536 kbytes
coredumpsize unlimited
memoryuse    unlimited
vmemoryuse   unlimited
descriptors  1735
memorylocked unlimited
maxproc      867
sbsize       unlimited

Wouldnt 1500+ filedescs be enough ?
