How do I fix this: master: Warning: fd limit (ulimit -n) is lower than required

[Robert Chalmers]

That's my next question. 'The how'
I'm on OSX 10.10.3, latest Dovecot.  I need to either increase limit -n globally, or for Dovect at boot time. 
ulimit -n 4096 for example.

I can set it in /etc/profile, but that seems like it my be a brute force method?
