Are any of the currently supported Suse versions suseptable to this forkbomb attack? I'm not very sure what it is, but I'm sure many of you are. I'm running suse 8.2 pro and 9.1 pro.
Yes it is. Because we have unlimited ulimits by default. To fix that: Install the "ulimit" package. Adapt /etc/sysconfig/ulimit to your needs. Done. Ciao, Marcus
