Is there a way to limit the number of procs a user can run on the
system at any given time? I wrote a program like this:
while (1)
{
fork ();
}
Though other users can still log in and do stuff, the system
drags so slowly that it literally takes over a minute to cycle
through and get any response from the process. Any malicious
user can log in and do this; this is not a good thing. I also
noticed, just FYI, that it crashes Solaris 2.3.
