Hello Folks, I can't seem to find a way to limit FD per UID nor a way to limit memory per UID Both of these can only be applied per process basis. Is there a reason why FreeBSD still doesn't support these limits per UID? it would very useful to be able to limit per UID as well as per process. My current problem is that I have some user processes which need, let's say, 50mb of memory, but I also want to make sure that no single user is using more than 500mb of memory at any given time. Unfortunately, I also need to give users ability to spawn more than 10 processes and without per UID limits, if I set a limit of 20 processes per UID, 20 x 50mb would yield usage over 2x that of 500mb. PS: I wasn't sure if I could address this on freebsd-arch, so it's going here. Thank you in advance! -Simon
