What are some sensible variables to use?
From doing man login.conf it seems the following variables may be usefull:
filesize size Maximum file size limit.
datasize size Maximum data size limit.
stacksize size Maximum stack size limit.
memoryuse size Maximum of core memory use size
maxproc number Maximum number of processes.
openfiles number Maximum number of open files per
process.
sbsize size Maximum permitted socketbuffer (?? what is this)
cputime doesn't seem to be of much general use. In my case I don't need to
limit how long users are logged in.
What is the difference between filesize and datasize?
