paul Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 is there a kernel parameter I can use to limit the amount of memory a user can use? I have users on my system that are chewing up memory occassionaly, and I want to be able to control them, so that each user is only allowed to use a maximum of 100mb. any ideas?
