Just wondering what most people are setting as hard limits for their shell users. What would be a reasonable amount for users to do what they need, but prevent them from causing DOS attacks via fork bombs or eating up memory. Is % limit -h cputime unlimited filesize unlimited datasize 8192 kbytes stacksize 4096 kbytes coredumpsize unlimited memoryuse 10240 kbytes memorylocked 10240 kbytes maxproc 15 openfiles 64 too restrictive, or overly restrictive ? ---Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mike Tancsa, tel 01.519.651.3400 Network Administrator, mike@sentex.net Sentex Communications www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
