Greetings:
 I am new to Linux, so I will as thorough as I can be.  I am using OEL5.5.  When I log in with a certain user, I get the following error:  "-bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted"

I researched and found numerous 'solutions' and file fixes, but I'm not comfortable with anything until I get more concrete confirmation.  The ulimit -n results in 1024 and the .bash_profile follows:

----------------------------------------

# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
        . ~/.bashrc
fi

# User specific environment and startup programs

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

export PATH



umask 022
