Hi!

Is it reasonable to administratively limit users' ability to call fork
too other ? Users can take away too much CPU time even if you have
limited them by login.conf 'cputime' limit - just forking lightweight
processes too often.

If it seems good thing to do, i'll try to code it and submit patches for
-current. 

I think this limit must go to struct uidinfo, am i right ? 
Also i need to store per-user counters somewhere, can i place it there?
