FreeBSD has a cool program to handle this called newsyslog. It's real easy to run it on other unix versions. You can get it via ftp from
here.
And don't let the name fool you, it's not just for syslog files.

I'm trying to set the open files value to 4000 on a SLES 9 system.
Current values:ulimit -n

But this obviously sets it only for the shell session where I run the command to set it. I want to set this to 4000 for all time.

resize_lfs
RESIZE_LFS(8) BSD System Manager's Manual RESIZE_LFS(8)
NAME
resize_lfs -- resize a mounted log-structured filesystem
SYNOPSIS
resize_lfs [-v] [-s new-size] mounted-file-system
DESCRIPTION
resize_lfs grows or shrinks a mounted log-structured filesystem to the specified size. mounted-file-system is the name of the filesystem to
be resized, and new-size is the desired new filesystem size, in sectors. If new-size is not specified, resize_lfs will default to the cur-
rent size of the partition containing the filesystem in question.
When growing, the partition must be large enough to contain a filesystem of the specified size; when shrinking, resize_lfs must first
``clean'' the segments that will be invalid when the filesystem is shrunk. If this cleaning process results in these segments becoming
redirtied, this indicates that the given new size is not large enough to contain the existing filesystem data, and resize_lfs will return an
error.
EXAMPLES
To resize the file system mounted at /home to 32576 sectors:
resize_lfs -s 32576 /home
SEE ALSO
fsck_lfs(8), lfs_cleanerd(8), newfs_lfs(8)
HISTORY
The resize_lfs command first appeared in NetBSD 3.0.
AUTHORS
Konrad Schroder <perseant@NetBSD.org>
BUGS
resize_lfs should be able to resize an unmounted filesystem as well.
