Yes, you can restrict how much RAM and the number of processes that a user can run with limits.conf. However, this will not affect MySQL if it is running as a separate user. If you are running PHP under phpsuexec or suPHP, then you may be able to limit the PHP processes.

Yes, I use limits.conf and I add line

user hard memlock 153600

in that file and that don`t help me, I think!

How I can enable that? Recompile apache with PAM or...?

Thanks
