Cannot increase open file descriptors above 1024

[Ibrahemoo Ghost]

I tried and it does not increase by itself, I had to also increase it
on /lib/systemd/system/freeradius.service.

[Service]
LimitNOFILE=4000

but after that the freeradius service wont start, and that's why I thought
there is internal limit in freeradius for the file descriptors.
