I'm having a little bit of trouble getting my settings
in /etc/login.conf to work. I am trying to limit the
number of processes that each user is allowed.
These are the settings I have for that class:
:maxproc=5:\
:cputime=1h:\
:datasize=16m:\
:stacksize=8m:\
:memoryuse=16m:\
:memorylocked=16m:\
:minpasswordlen=6:\
:passwordtime=30d:\
:openfiles=256:\
:warnpassword=5d:\
:tc=default
After I set this, I used "cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf" to
make the database.
And "chfn user" and changed the class of the user I wanted
to modify the settings for.
After that, I logged in as the user, and ran a program
that was made in c to hog up all system resources.
This is the code to that program:
include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main (void)
{
while (1)
{
malloc(10485760);
printf ("BLah to you\n");
fork();
}
}
Even after these settings the program still took up more
that five processes, and more than 16m of memory.
Please help me with this.
