It depends on what you're doing, mine setup (and Chris') were for shell
boxes, so they were extremely limited.. I wish I still had my old
login.conf that I put together, but I'll have a go from memory..

All for *regular* users:

: >From doing man login.conf it seems the following variables may be usefull:
:      filesize   size                Maximum file size limit.

128MB

:      datasize   size                Maximum data size limit.

12M

:      stacksize  size                Maximum stack size limit.

8M

:      memoryuse  size                Maximum of core memory use size

32M

:      maxproc    number              Maximum number of processes.

8

:      openfiles  number              Maximum number of open files per

12

:      sbsize    size                Maximum permitted socketbuffer (?? what is this)

Not sure about this one, it wasn't around in 3.x I don't think...

I'm a bit rusty, its my understanding that login.conf features have been
enhanced in 4.x, Chris is better suited to comment on that since he runs a
4.x box. :)
