This would be much better if the capability to set the ulimit on a per-user
basis existed and all process starting jobs (login, cron, init) used that
value when initiating a job for a particular user.

The other problem with setting it in login to be different from the kernel
setting is that depending upon how the job got executed, the ulimit will
be different (if it got executed from cron it would have the kernel ulimit
unless cron was restarted since the boot).
