Summary:                    Starting asterisk: /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk: line 86:
ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted
Description: 
Dear,

Everytime that I start Asterisk using "service asterisk start" in my
CentOS 5.5 64-bit Asterisk box this message appears: "Starting asterisk:
/usr/sbin/safe_asterisk: line 86: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit:
Operation not permitted"

This problem begun to happen after I edit /etc/security/limits.conf and
add the line "*               -       nofile          168796" to Samba
3.5.6 works properly.

This problem happens since Asterisk 1.6.1.

How can fix that?

Thanks so much.
