It depends on what you're doing, mine setup (and Chris') were for shell boxes, so they were extremely limited.. I wish I still had my old login.conf that I put together, but I'll have a go from memory.. All for *regular* users: : >From doing man login.conf it seems the following variables may be usefull: : filesize size Maximum file size limit. 128MB : datasize size Maximum data size limit. 12M : stacksize size Maximum stack size limit. 8M : memoryuse size Maximum of core memory use size 32M : maxproc number Maximum number of processes. 8 : openfiles number Maximum number of open files per 12 : sbsize size Maximum permitted socketbuffer (?? what is this) Not sure about this one, it wasn't around in 3.x I don't think... I'm a bit rusty, its my understanding that login.conf features have been enhanced in 4.x, Chris is better suited to comment on that since he runs a 4.x box. :) * Matt Heckaman - mailto:matt@lucida.ca http://www.lucida.ca/pgp * * GPG fingerprint - 53CA 8320 C8F6 32ED 9DDF 036E 3171 C093 4AD3 1364 * -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: http://www.lucida.ca/pgp iD8DBQE6mymhMXHAk0rTE2QRAsxZAJ9mbRpFjUQvqOrTk/x4cIGw3EbGOgCgwmmP HRcz1gdPH/b6YXwx9WyHEMY= =LJUu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
