Hi there, Not sure if this is what you're looking for, or if it can even do exactly what you want, but you should take a look at login.conf(5) -- I think that it may be able to help you. The maxproc resource limit isn't _exactly_ what you're looking for, but perhaps you can use it in some way to achieve your goal. Anyway, hope this helps you in some way. - Marc On Thu, Jul 04, 2002 at 08:20:43PM +0800, dnu wrote: > Hello, > > A number of my users run a bouncer.
