My suggestion is a quick perl script to do it that parses the output of a ps -auxw. If you want, I can send you the one I use here, but you'll probably want to customize it for your own system. The other option is to have the users shells execute a 'limit' when they log on. :-) I haven't tried that approach, as a decision was made to use bash as the default shell here. <twitch> -Dave Andersen -- angio@aros.net Complete virtual hosting and business-oriented system administration Internet services.
