I think you are missing the fact that there are lots of situations where users may hit the configured process limit without that being an indication of a fork bomb (or other) attack. This means that there will be many systems that will trigger your warning where there really is no problem. That's a good reason for a) making the message KERN_INFO and b) let administrators somehow disable it completely. Personally I'm wondering if we even want/need this at all. -- Jesper Juhl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
