I've increased the max file system wide as well as in limits.conf...cups still thinks 1024 is the default so it only allows 1/3 (341) connections...Thoughts?

Since my box is for DB only it does not worry me too much. Thanks for the highlight man :) Yup, ulimit will be user specific and sysctl method system wide.

One limitation i see of setting the FD limit in sysctl.conf is that it applies to every application. Unless you want every process to get that many FD's. I would go for the boot script way of setting FD limits. Thoughts? After researching a lil further, i found that the limits.conf only places the limits on the graphical login.

ulimit -Hn
-H to set hardlimit
-n to set number of open file descriptors

or you can manually do it in
/etc/security/limits.conf
