Hi, is there a way to set a new hard limit (for e.g. core size :-)) on a running system so that users/processes cannot revert it? It seems I can only set new limits in my own environment, but what I want is system-wide new limit to restrict all already running processes (and childs spawned from them). Like saying "From now on, the new hard limit is 0 on this computer". So that I could protect all running hosts against the new elfloader bug without rebooting them. cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.
