hi there,

how do you achieve resource limiting?
i would like to maintain a certain kind of security (lol, i know: who wouldnt ;) ), so that even if a user messes up my system, i will still be able to gain priority over his process in order to kill it from memory.

Any links, comments or tips are welcome,

so long,

Duncan McLord

If it is on Linux, you might want to look at:

- RLimitCPU and RLimitMEM on Apache configuration (httpd.conf)

- /etc/security/limits.conf (on PAM enabled distributions)
