Thanks, > This should probably be moved to freebsd-isp if we go any further here... :) No, we don't let them run free.... Most users are limited to one background process (must stay under 2MB) or some software we have goes through and kills it. I don't mind them (temporarily) eating up ram, but nothing for more than 10-15 mins. We're using login.conf to limit CPU usage already. (eggdrop seems to have a bug where it'll go nuts and sit in a loop.... the cpu limit kills them rather easily).
