Hello,

I'm not able to set user resource limits (with ulimit under bash or
limit under tcsh), am I doing something wrong or does linux not support
limitting maximun memory/filesize/descriptors/... in a per-user basis?

If not any user could make the system unusable using for example
some kind of memory consumer program as the one attached.
