Hi, I'm new to the list.

I'm planning to migrate my organization's Red Hat 9.0 shell machine to
FreeBSD, but I am concerned about running background processes.
Because my users are naughty (if you know what I mean), so I want to
put a background process limit (of one bg process), like in my RH9
setup. I've tried limits(1) and login.conf (which is really great in
limiting what the user could do) and I've setup maxproc but that's
just for maximum running processes.

I'm running FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE by the way.

Thanks in advance.
