Subject: limiting per process swap space utilization like Solaris ulimit?

Hi:

Due to a problem with qmail running away, I'd like to be able to limit the
per process swap space utilization under FreeBSD.

How does one do this?

Under Solaris ulimit provides a good interface to setting this limit, but
I could find no such limit (either setable via a program, or a system
call).

Thanks.

Bernie
