Easy questions....

Hi...


Im a really new to OpenBSD and i think i have to learn a lot.
I tried two days to find some documentation on memory, cpu time and
process quotas. All i could find was other people asking the same thing
but no answers :(

The kernel seems to support the setrlimit systemcall, but i could not
figure out how to apply limits to useraccounts. 
( like FreeBSD /etc/login.conf )

It was easy to make my box unusable by

void main()
{
  while(1) { fork(); };
}


How can i do this ? Isnt it supported right now ? Will there be limit
support in future releases ?

On the ther hand: thanks to you all building a really security aware  
OS....


bye
    Joerg
