        (shadow980724)

	given that :
	R: max resident set size (KB) [_no effect on Linux 2.0.x_]
and setting the S in /etc/limits has no effect how can i limit the memory
an ordinary user can use ?
	I tryed on more systems ( rh5.1, and rh5.2) and nothing... i added
the HAVE_ULIMIT flag with no result ... tryed shadow980724 and 971215.

	How can this be done ?

Any help is apreciated.		

RedHat 5.2 (Amd K5)
the default kernel from 5.2 , 2.0.36
