I have been reading for two days on how to prevent this and have come up with things like limiting the amount of processes a user can grab a hold of???? HOW DO I DO THIS.... never does anyone say it in terms a newbie can figure out Or am I even on track???????? here is the code modified slighty #while (true) { # fork; # for ($x=0;$x=>1000;++$x) { # fork; fork; # } #} HELP -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
