>Description:
I specified maxproc=32 for a 'shell' box. Zombie processes count towards total and generate the following error:
maxproc limit exceeded by uid 1245, please see tuning(7) and login.conf(5).
After doing a ps-aux, it shows this user has 29 zombies, and 3 actual processes. Total of 32 (MaxProc Value)
