These limits are easy to set via pam_limits. (not perfect though, i think its session specific..) granted, if the machine hasn't been setup with user limits, then linux doesn't deal at all well with OOM, so this should be fixed. but it can easily be argued that admin error in not configuring limits is the main cause for OOM. > Andries regards, --paulj - 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/
