Hello,

login.conf is quite interesting with *interactive* users, but I'm wondering if 
login.conf could also be used to constrain long-running processes, such as 
daemons (you may imagine a list ...)

in the case of long-runnning-processes, a cap on CPU run time seems difficult 
to use : either the cap is too low and the daemon is stopped when it should 
not or the cap is too high, and you may be DOS'ed by a runaway process :-(

obviously, all other parameters can be usefully limited.

has someone played with daemons and resource limits of login.conf ?

	TfH
