For the whole system, its very easy:
echo 4096 >/proc/sys/fs/file-max
Note that you'll have to do that at boot-time to (probably in
/etc/rc.d/rc.local).
However, if you want to increase the per-process limit, its more
complex - you have to rebuild glibc after changing the appropriate
variable (I forget the name at the moment). And I believe its hard-
coded to 512.
