Obviously, but if any limits are applied during the login process, the
ulimit command from the shell will show them.

Note also "ulimit -Ha" shows all hard limits, while "ulimit -a" or "-Sa"
shows the soft limits.

Anyway, I'm not sure about FreeBSD, but on my NetBSD machine, when
listing the hard limits, you do get to see concrete numbers in most/all
cases where that makes sense.
