However, a couple of tips on getting questions answered. a) Try and use more descriptive subject headings. (I only saw your question because I accidentally clicked on it). Many people wont bother reading what they are not interested in. b) Dont post HTML messages. You end up posting the same thing twice, and a lot of people dont like reading in HTML. As to your question, there are a number of ways to do it. One way is via login classes. Have a look at /etc/login.conf and create a class for your shell users to restrict them so that they can not eat up x amount of RAM, or fork off too many processes etc. However, limiting to one process might be too restrictive. Note that not all things are implemented in the login.classes, but for what you want to do, you should find everything you need. ---Mike Mike Tancsa (mdtancsa@sentex.net) Sentex Communications Corp, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada "Given enough time, 100 monkeys on 100 routers could setup a national IP network."
