I wish you good luck at 5.5 upgrade time. ;)

I don't think so.
The wiki page you're reading is about OpenBSD 5.4-current, I assume it
has been written before this change:
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade54.html#login.conf
Add an "openfiles-max" entry (>= 4096) or just use "openfiles" to
specify both. Note that the value for "default" and "staff" have since
been bumped to 512.
Also I'd advise against using /etc/login.conf.db, it's only useful for
very large sites, it just gets in the way elsewhere.
