Hi all,

There were 2 parameters that could be tweaked for files per user:
rlim_fd_cur & rlim_fd_max

No answer on what the file locks parameter may be, but apparently it can
be altered.

Here is a handy link for the tunable kernel parameters manual:
http://docs.sun.com/db/coll/707.1

Thanks to go to the following people for pointing me to the right
direction.
