I have a patch I made to setup a /proc/secure/maxtasks
Using sysctl to change the MAX_TASKS_PER_USER on the fly.
Hope that helps.

Hi,
Is it possible to configure the kernel in the same manner as a
solaris/sunos kernel (/etc/system)? It is very easy for a regular
user to
make a linux box unresponsive and crash eventually.
This simple program will do that:
main ()
{
fork();
main();
}
I'm sure you all know that, now the question is, how do I prevent
something like that from happening, and is it possible to set some
sort of
limits in the kernel?
Thanks in advance.
