On one of my clients' shell boxes, some users run eggdrop bots in background
processes while offline. While i'm not exactly thrilled about this, i can't
really stop them as the client has promised users they could.

However, i'm concerned about CPU time, mem usage, etc, and want to impose
some sort of limitations. Is there a way to limit the resources their
processes use, or how many processes they can have running in the bagground
when not logged in?

I'm running FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE...

I *have* read the login.conf man page, and i admit that it really confuses
me, so if the answer is in there, a little help interpreting it would be
appreciated.

Thanks,
Mit
