Date: Thu, 12 Sep 1996 12:27:26 +0100 Organization: Corpex Limited Lines: 15 Message-ID: <3237F39E.41C67EA6@corpex.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: kaneda.corpex.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE i386) Hi, Is there a way of limiting the effect a user can have on a machine, by number of processes possible, or by automatically niceing all his processes. I do not want to 'quota' CPU usage/period, as that would render them service outages. I would just like to execise a bit of damage limitation from rogue processes.
