Yeah... I was just reading the setrlimit man page. Does that mean that the only way I can limit RAM usage is with RLIMIT_AS? (Or "as" in limits.conf parlance) I would have to limit AS < RAM to keep a user from using all RAM. Since AS includes virtual memory, and VM = RAM + swap, wouldn't I be limiting users a little more than I'd hoped? -- Prentice _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
