Which part of it hmm. My evaluation of it would be the openfile limit, in that they cannot open up enough descriptors to successfully harm the box. Time for me me to go play with login.conf some more, thanks. The question still remains though, can you set RLIMIT_SBSIZE and RLIMIT_RSS with the login.conf?
