Hi,
I was wondering, is it possible to make it so the username "bob" on my linux box is limited to using only ___ of memory?
is there a file i can edit for this?
what about cpu?
i have never heard of anything like that, although it might come in handy.
please check man login.conf

/etc/login.conf is a very nice feature of FreeBSD. Now that I think about it, I it's probably a BSD feature, just FreeBSD is the only one I've used.
FreeBSD's login.conf man page (http://www.gsp.com/cgi-bin/man.cgi?section=5&topic=login.conf) (If it's on the web, Google always seems to know it ;))

Under Linux, try /etc/security/limits.conf.
Sorry for being a FreeBSD addict. :) 4.6 is out now.

/etc/secuirty/limits.conf is a PAM enabled feature, if not enabled via PAM prior to editing limits.conf then your changes will not take effect in the least.
Refer to the below link for more information on setting up PAM resource limiting:
