dovecot - Mar 2013 - ulimit -n in start-script

Hi!

Even on midrange-systems it's necessary to set "ulimit -n" to a
higher
value then the system default of 1024.

I'd prefer having this already prepared:

In /etc/defaults/dovecot we should add:

# Set amount of "open files" / ulimit -n
ULIMIT_OPEN_FILES=16884


In /etc/init.d/dovecot we should add:

# Set amount of open files / ulimit -n
[ -n "$ULIMIT_OPEN_FILES" ] && ulimit -n $ULIMIT_OPEN_FILES

Could this lead to this problem?
