   I don't know how to do this on Slack, but I think that must be almost the
same as in RedHat, because is a kernel facility. On RedHat exists
/etc/security/limits.conf to store the parameters. And ulimit command to see
/ modify those paramaters. You can modify a lot of them (CPU, No. Proc, No.
Logins, ...).

How do i limit user processes (number / cpu usage) on slack 7.0 kernel
2.2.17?

I keep getting childish users setting up cute forks forcing reboots.

As a totally random bit of advice, check on your systems for something
called erect.c ( find / -name *erect* ) as its the most devestating hard
drive mass writing program i've ever seen. Use standard BOFH proceedures
on any user found possessing this bitch of a tool.
