another approach is to wrap a shell around the process that
you want the increased ulimit with a call to "ulimit" to increase
the ulimit.

on my 3b2 for example, i changed /etc/inittab to run what i call
"bigetty".  bigetty is simply a shell that looks like:

ulimit XXXX
/etc/getty $*

this allows the added flexibility/headache of giving different
users different ulimits.
