Summary: LShell 1.0 now available
Approved: linux-announce@news.ornl.gov (Lars Wirzenius)
Followup-to: comp.os.linux.setup
LShell 1.0 is a program to easily and securely set and maintain
resource limits. This allows you to protect against rogue users (or
careless users) who consume all your process table slots, virtual memory,
file descriptors, or CPU time.
LShell takes the place of the user's login shell, looks up the
limits in a configuration file and then forks the user's login shell. It
is available at ftp.epinet.com in /pub/linux/sources/bin and is about
4.6Kbytes.
Here is the LSM:

based on entries in a configuration file. Makes it easy to

descriptors, cpu time, virual memory consumption, and number
of processes.
