Feb 24 at 6:50 comment added Linc Davis So you created sysctl.conf and launchd.conf with the proper directives, then rebooted, and there was no change?
Feb 23 at 23:08 comment added Michael Conlen That does not; besides being 12 years old, the kern.maxfiles is already larger than the values there and the commands I ran would cover the other two cases in the first answer. I can raise my local shell's ulimit and run eval `ssh-agent` then things are fine. That indicates the problem is related to launchd not picking up the limits from launchctl limit when starting a process. I could just continue to do this but I'd rather not have to start a separate agent when I need the higher limit or manage which shells are using which agent.

Feb 23 at 22:48 comment added Linc Davis Does this answer your question? How to properly increase a `ulimit -n` limits?
